Award-winning R&B singer The Weeknd is headed to Bangkok as part of his first-ever Asia tour.
A tour poster released on his Instagram and Twitter accounts has the Canadian-born artist behind such hits as Can’t Feel My Face, I Feel It Coming, and Starboy, pegged to perform in the Thai capital on Dec. 2.

Bangkok will be his second stop after the tour kicks off in Hong Kong on Nov. 30. Other Coconuts cities the Weeknd is set to perform in include Singapore, Manila, and Bali.
Ticket details and venues have yet to be announced.
The news has plenty of Thai netizens rejoicing, but following awesome gigs from The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, and Imagine Dragons this year, some complain they simply don’t have enough cash to keep up with all the cool concerts coming to Thailand.
“When you found out that The Weeknd is coming to Thailand in December. So happy! Finally, this day has come.”
