Following the North American leg of his “After Hours Til Dawn” global stadium tour, The Weeknd now prepares to head to the UK, Europe, and Latin America for the second leg — starting in Manchester and ending in Santiago.

While in North America, the centerpiece for The Weeknd’s stage design was a large glowing moon, the second leg will see the alien teased in the concert posters come to life in the form of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama‘s sexy robot. The towering figure commissioned by the Weeknd is seen in Sorayama’s signature silver metallic finish and placed centerstage.

“We building a chrome metropolis for this leg,” writes the Weeknd. Joining him from June 10 to August 12 will be Kaytranada and Mike Dean.

Take a first look at the Sorayama statue above and look for live footage to surface later this month.
