Verizon and The Weeknd announce 2020 partnership
20 Februar 2020 - 10:20PM
Verizon and multi-platinum, three-time GRAMMY® Award winning
artist The Weeknd are partnering to bring members of customer
loyalty program Verizon Up, opportunities for exclusive access to
concerts and private experiences throughout 2020.
“Connecting with my fans is paramount,” said The
Weeknd. “I constantly strive to produce experiences that transcend
music and through this Verizon partnership I’ll be able to get to
that more intimate level with people.”
During all U.S. tour dates of The Weeknd’s 2020
After Hours Tour, Verizon Up ticket holders will get access to an
exclusive stage side experience within the Verizon Up Members
section. VIP artist meet and greets will be available at select
shows.
Ticket holders will also get access to an
intimate, exclusive Verizon Up concert from The Weeknd - details of
which will be shared later in the year. Partnerships with top
artists like The Weeknd give Verizon the opportunity to offer
music-loving customers experiences they want while thanking them
for their loyalty.
In addition to artist partnerships and access to
the best experiences, Verizon also offers customers ultimate access
to music at home and on the go. Bringing our unlimited data plans
together with unlimited music, Apple Music is included in the Play
More and Get More Unlimited plans.
With no fee to join and easy enrollment via the
My Verizon app, Verizon Up members are simply rewarded just for
being a customer. For more details, visit

About The Weeknd: Filtering R&B, pop, and
hip-hop through an ambitious widescreen lens, The Weeknd quietly
took over popular music and culture on his own terms. As a result,
the multi-platinum three-time GRAMMY®Award winner has emerged as
one of the most successful and significant artists of the 21st
century. Released via his own visionary XO collective and Republic
Records, 2012’s double-platinum Trilogy collated three breakout
mixtapes—House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence—into
his first chart-topping collection followed by the platinum Kiss
Land in 2013. Two years later, Beauty Behind The Madness
represented a major milestone. This 2015 opus notably achieved a
GRAMMY®Award in the category of "Best Urban Contemporary Album," a
triple-platinum certification from the RIAA for U.S. sales in
excess of 3 million, and over 20 RIAA certifications from tracks
alone while “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” received an
Academy® Award nomination for “Best Original Song.” That
stratospheric rise continued as 2016’s Starboy went
triple-platinum, captured #1 in 90 countries, and shattered the
global streaming record at the time in under a week. In 2018,
his influence continued to expand with My Dear Melancholy. The
6-track project marked his third consecutive #1 bow on the
Billboard Top 200, went platinum, and attracted widespread critical
acclaim. In 2019, The Weeknd received a rare RIAA diamond
certification for “The Hills” after exceeding over 10 million units
sold. He also released two new songs, "Heartless" and
"Blinding Lights," the former claiming a #1 Hot 100 Billboard
chart-topping spot and both earning platinum status. Most recently
he has announced his new album, After Hours, set for release on
March 20th, 2020. On March 7th he will make his third appearance
and musical performance on Saturday Night Live and embark on the
massive 57-date world tour, The After Hours Tour, this June.
