The Weeknd faces fan backlash over Melbourne concert security incident and short set time

The Weeknd began his Australian tour in Melbourne on October 5, starting 15 minutes late and ending his set at 10:30 PM. Fans expressed disappointment over the concert's short duration, which lasted about an hour and 45 minutes. During the performance, a fan, known as "Pyjama Man," rushed the stage and attempted to hug The Weeknd. Security quickly intervened, allowing the concert to continue after the incident. This tour follows a previous cancellation of The Weeknd's Australian dates last year. He is now scheduled to perform in Sydney on October 22 and 23, with only four total shows in Australia.
