    With new album, newly shorn The Weeknd returns to Houston on world concert tour

    Vowel-challenged musical artist The Weeknd has locked in his first-ever world tour, called Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 World Tour, for early 2017, with two Texas dates on the itinerary.

    The tour will hit Dallas on May 4 at American Airlines Center, and Houston on May 6 at the Toyota Center.

    The tour spans Europe and North America, with phase one kicking off on February 17 in Stockholm. It will visit 14 additional cities across Europe including Paris, London, Amsterdam, Zurich, Copenhagen, and more before heading to North America on April 25 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

    The North American leg of the tour will hit 25 cities across the United States and Canada. The tour supports the The Weeknd's new album, Starboy, due out November 25 on XO/Republic Records.

    Known for his bewitching hair, The Weeknd first broke into the music scene with the 2011 mixtape House of Balloons, followed by studio album Kiss Land in 2013 and the widely recognized Beauty Behind the Madness that earned him two Grammy Awards in 2015. Starboy is The Weeknd’s fourth full-length album with a title track featuring Daft Punk.

    Last month the singer canceled an appearance in Austin during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix weekend, saying that with an album due out next month, he felt he had to use every spare minute of the coming weeks to complete it. He was replaced by Usher and The Roots.

    His last Houston appearance was in December, when he performed to a sold-out crowd at the Toyota Center.

    Tickets for both the North American and European dates go on sale November 4 at ticketmaster.com. All dates, cities, and venues below subject to change.

    While much of the focus on award-worthy movies is put on those that come out in the final months of the year, the release dates for the ones that made the list of CultureMap's Best Movies of 2025 spanned nine months, from mid-March to late December. The one thing they all had in common was an attention to storytelling, with the occasional burst of starpower to put them over the top.


    Scroll through CultureMap's picks of the 10 best films of 2025 by using the left and right arrows on each photo.
