Playboi Carti Crashes The Weeknd's Wembley Set For Epic Live Collaborations

London fans at Wembley Stadium got a double hit of adrenaline when Playboi Carti went above and beyond his opening duties for The Weeknd. Carti, who is acting as direct support for the London run of the *After Hours Til Dawn Tour*, did not simply finish his opening set and head backstage for the night. Instead, the Atlanta rapper made a triumphant return to the main stage right in the middle of Abel Tesfaye’s headlining performance. The unexpected reunion instantly dialed up the stadium's energy level, giving ticket holders a front-row seat to one of the most anticipated live pairings in modern hip-hop and R&B.
