The creepy and gauzy Toronto R&B act the Weeknd made its Southland-area debut at Coachella — some of their first live shows as a band, period — just two weeks ago. But now they’ve joined Sigur Ros, Flaming Lips and Bon Iver with the distinction of headlining their own show on the Fairbanks Lawn at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Tickets for the act’s May 5 headlining date go on-sale at noon Wednesday at an eye-popping $30. Its Coachella sets got strong reviews though, and we can’t think of a more apropos place to hear ‘Initiation’ than atop the graves of a bunch of movie stars.
