Travis Scott and The Weeknd stopped by Mike Dean‘s recent show in Los Angeles, where Abel blessed fans with an unreleased song.
On Friday (March 1), Dean put on a special birthday show at the Wilton Theater. There, the producer teamed up with the “I Can’t Feel My Face” performer to drop a cover of “In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song),” the David Lynch/Peter Ivers track from Lynch’s movie Eraserhead.
The Weeknd also performed “Take Me Back To LA,” which was first performed in 2020 and is a fan favorite during live shows, but has yet to be officially released.
Meanwhile, Travis Scott performed “Fe!n,” then teamed up with Mike Dean and The Weeknd for “Circus Maximus.”

In Instagram posts on Saturday (February 24) and Tuesday (February 27), the producer shared information about the March 1 concert at the city’s Wiltern Theatre, with the earlier post soundtracked by one of his songs, “Goodbye Earth,” and the second featuring Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage.”
In the first post, Dean wrote: “PUMPED FOR THE SHOW? Get ready to leave this world !”

In a recent Our Generation interview, the Grammy Award winner revealed what it was like to play concerts with The Weeknd.
“I opened up for him on the U.S. tour last summer,” he explained. “That came about during a livestream. I was doing a little livestream on Instagram, and Abel was tuned in. And he texted me during the livestream, like, ‘You should just open for me.’”
He continued: “I get to go out, have a budget, get production, and make shit look cool.”
Last April, The Weeknd teamed up with Mike Dean on four new tracks that appeared on the producer’s aforementioned, 4:23.
Released on April 29, 2023, Dean’s project — which was co-executive produced by the Canadian crooner — marked his first project since 2020’s 4:22.
The Weeknd and Dean have collaborated on several projects, including the singer’s 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness and “Where You Belong,” which was written for the Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack.
