Award-winning R&B singer The Weeknd is coming to Hong Kong as part of his first-ever Asia tour.

A tour poster released on Twitter has the Canadian-born artist behind such hits as Can’t Feel My Face, The Hills and Starboy, pegged to perform in the city on Friday, Nov. 30.

He will then head to Bangkok (Dec. 2), Singapore (Dec. 5), Manila (Dec. 7), Bali (Dec. 9), Taipei (Dec. 12), Seoul (December 15), and Tokyo (Dec. 18).

Ticket details and venues have yet to be announced. 

It looks like the Hong Kong tourism board was being a bit sly last week when they reached out to The Weeknd on Twitter with this message:

The Weeknd, originally Abel Tesfaye, broke into the music scene with his 2011 mixtape House of Balloons.

The 28-year-old has since worked with some of the biggest names in music, from Drake to Daft Punk, while building his own career, enjoying huge success with his 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness and his 2016 follow-up record Starboy.
