Nine months from Saturday night, there are going to be a lot of babies that are born as a result of the Weeknd’s main stage closing set.
“This is the greatest night of my entire life,” Abel Tesfaye said at one point during his set. Tesfaye’s bedroom ballads were the perfect setting for many couples or attempting-to-be couples that were holding each other tight.
“Can I get sexy for you Coachella?” was a question that didn’t need to be asked, but was anyways. A three-piece band stood in front of a sweet screen and from the opening moments of “High for This,” the crowd was committed 100 percent.
The Fifty Shades of Grey song “Earned It” ended the night, wrapping up an hour-long set that put a nice stamp on the second night. I’m sure it wasn’t the ONLY thing getting wrapped up last night, if you know what I mean.
