The Weeknd has shared a remix of his ‘Dawn FM’ song ‘Out Of Time’ by fellow Canadian artist Kaytranada.Kaytra’s version retains the glistening electronics of the original along with Abel Tesfaye’s distinctive croon, though it trades the groove-heavy bass guitar for a deep sub-synth and more active percussion.It arrives as part of an EP that also includes a much shorter radio edit of the remix along with the original and an instrumental version of the studio recording. Listen to Kaytranada’s remix below:Earlier this month, The Weeknd shared a video for ‘Out Of Time’ featuring Squid Game actress Jung Ho-yeon along with Jim Carrey, whose narration was threaded through ‘Dawn FM’.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAs if it didn’t take long enough to get to the 21st installment of Coachella — what with a pandemic, four postponements and yet another recent Covid spike — when original Sunday headliner Kanye West pulled out two weeks ago, Swedish House Mafia had to transform their vaguely defined position on the lineup into a headlining set. In short order the Weeknd — who is still deep in work on his HBO series “The Idol,” which he cowrote, coproduced and stars in — agreed to bump up his previously planned brief appearance with the EDM titans to a co-headlining spot with them, but he had just two weeks to pull together a set.

The Weeknd debuted songs from his new album ‘Dawn FM’ live for the first time during his Coachella headline set last night (April 17) – see footage, photos, a full setlist and more below.Abel Tesfaye was topping the bill on the final night of the first weekend at the Californian festival alongside Swedish House Mafia, with the pair replacing Kanye West as headliners just a few weeks ago.During his 17-song set, The Weeknd played hits from across his career as well as giving live debuts to three tracks from ‘Dawn FM’: ‘Sacrifice’, ‘How Can I Make You Love Me’ and ‘Out Of Time’.The first two tracks opened the set and saw The Weeknd joined by Swedish House Mafia at the end of their own full-length set.

The Weeknd, 32, is gearing up for his big performance at Coachella music festival, where he and Swedish House Mafia are taking over Kanye West‘s headlining slot. “Even though everything is coming together at the last minute, Abel is not stressing about Coachella,” a source close to the “Blinding Lights” hitmaker tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “The fact that this is all being coordinated pretty much at the last minute isn’t much of a concern and he’s confident this will be pulled off without a hitch.”

Kanye Westdropped out of Coachella, organizers announced that The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia would be taking over his slots- and drama quickly ensued behind the scenes.

Kendall Jenner has attended the Coachella music festival during its last few productions (it was sidelined in 2020 and 2021 over the pandemic). So, it comes as no surprise to fans if the model is keeping up to date with last-minute talent arrangements.

The Weeknd seems to be ready to change his name! The artist is following Kanye West’s footsteps, suggesting that he might “pull a YE.” The rapper requested a name change in October 2021, with a judge approving his legal name, from Kanye Omari West to Ye. Now The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, is sharing his thoughts with fans and followers on social media, taking to Twitter to write, “I feel like I should change my stage name to ABEL at this point lol.”The 32-year-old singer, who just released the music video for ‘Out of Time’ featuring HoYeon and Jim Carrey, explained that he is interested in “maybe pull a YE and just legally change my name to ABEL.

Surprisingly, one of the artists leaving the 64th Annual Grammy Awards with a new piece of hardware was The Weeknd. The singer (b. Abel Tesfaye, 32) is not a fan of the Recording Academy after they completely shut out his After Hours album, but that didn’t stop the Academy from awarding him Best Melodic Rap Performance. The Weeknd won for his contributions to Kanye West’s “Hurricane,” a track off of Ye’s Donda that also features Lil Baby. Neither the Weeknd nor Ye, 44, were on hand to collect the award, which was handed out in a ceremony before the Apr. 3 broadcast.
