(AllHipHop News) Saturday Night Live is set to return, and so is The Weeknd.
The award-winning R&B singer has been tapped to be the music guest on the season premiere of SNL.
The Weeknd recently released the title track from his forthcoming Starboy LP.
Earlier this year, the artist born Abęl Tesfaye appeared on songs by Kanye West, Beyoncé, Future, and Travis Scott.
Starboy will be the follow-up to 2015’s Beauty Behind The Madness album which spawned his hit singles “Earned It,” “The Hills,” and “Can’t Feel My Face.”
The 42nd season of Saturday Night Live featuring The Weeknd will air October 1 on NBC.
Suicide Squad actress Margot Robbie will serve as host for the SNL debut.
