The Weeknd has commissioned a towering 40-foot gold statue created by renowned Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour.
The striking installation is now recognized as the largest fine art piece ever created for a live concert production, marking a new milestone in the intersection of music, visual art, and live entertainment.
Known for his futuristic aesthetic and hyperreal metallic sculptures, Sorayama designed the massive artwork to complement the cinematic themes and visual storytelling that have defined The Weeknd’s record-breaking tour.
The gold statue serves as a centerpiece of the production, enhancing the immersive experience for concertgoers and reflecting the artist’s signature blend of science fiction, luxury, and surrealism.
The collaboration continues The Weeknd’s long-standing commitment to pushing creative boundaries through ambitious stage design and innovative visual concepts. The After Hours Til Dawn Tour has already earned praise for its elaborate production, featuring expansive sets, cutting-edge technology, and dramatic visuals inspired by the singer’s After Hours and Dawn FM eras.
The partnership between The Weeknd and Sorayama underscores the growing role of contemporary art in live music experiences, transforming concert stages into immersive cultural events that extend beyond traditional performances.
