Watch footage from The Weeknd's first live show

Abel Tesfaye, the the Toronto-based singer behind The Weeknd, is a highly private figure, who has been almost frustratingly elusive since the release of his explosive debut mixtape House of Balloons. For weeks after its release, details remained vague around his very identity – hence the seemingly euphoric atmosphere that greeted him when he stepped onstage for his first live show last Sunday. Here you can watch him open the show with High For This, delivering an easy performance with a huge grin on his face, with a full band making him sound absolutely massive. Canada would be a good place to be right now.
