That's no typo — The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, is bringing his gorgeous brand of R&B to downtown London on October 2.

This talented Toronto-based Ethiopian Canadian artist will be performing an all-ages show at the parking lot on King and Clarence Streets. Doors open at 8 p.m.

In late March, The Weeknd released the first part of his mixtape trilogy, entitled House of Balloons. The nine-song mixtape was shortlisted for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize in July. The second part of the trilogy, Thursday, was released in August, and can be downloaded at the-weeknd.com. Keep an ear out for the third and final mixtape, Echoes of Silence, to be released later this autumn.

Over 1,000 tickets have already been sold to the show, and the Student Union has a few tickets on sale just for Fanshawe students as of September 26. Normally tickets sell for $35, but grab them at the Biz Booth for just $30 with a valid student ID (limit two per person, students only).
