The Weeknd at Levi's Stadium: What to know before the Santa Clara concerts
With more than 200,000 fans attending his Southern California shows alone, the global R&B megasta, born Abel Tesfaye, continues to solidify his place as one of the most dominant live performers of his generation.
For Bay Area fans planning to catch the spectacle in Santa Clara on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8-9, here's what you need to know.
How do I get to Levi's Stadium?
Levi's Stadium is about 40 miles south of San Francisco and can be reached via Highways 101, 237 and I-880 — though traffic is notoriously bad on event days. Public transportation is highly encouraged.
VTA light rail and bus service provide direct connections throughout Santa Clara County.
Caltrain riders can transfer to VTA at Mountain View.
BART users can switch to VTA at the Milpitas station.
Capitol Corridor and ACE trains are options for fans traveling from farther away.
Rideshare drop-offs are available near the venue.
Bike valet is also offered for cyclists.
Where can I park?
Who's performing?
The Weeknd headlines, supported by opening acts Playboi Carti and Mike Dean.
Tickets begin at $73.
What's on the setlist?
Expect a marathon four-hour performance spanning The Weeknd's career — from breakout hits like 'House of Balloons' and 'The Hills' to newer tracks off his chart-topping 2025 album 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' including 'São Paulo,' 'Baptized in Fear' and 'Open Hearts.'
There may even be a couple of collaborations with Playboi Carti and a nod to Metro Boomin's 'Creepin'.'
Can I eat nearby?
Dining options near Levi's Stadium are somewhat limited, but the nearby Mercado Shopping Center offers several convenient choices for a quick bite, including In-N-Out Burger, Panda Express, Subway, Pho Hoa and Tomatina.
For those seeking a sit-down meal before the show, popular nearby restaurants include Pedro's Restaurant & Cantina at 3935 Freedom Circle, El Torito at 2950 Lakeside Drive, and Birk's Restaurant at 3955 Freedom Circle.
Two additional upscale options — Puesto and Il Fornaio — are both located at 2752 Augustine Drive.
Inside the stadium, fans will find around two dozen cashless concession stands serving local favorites such as Super Duper Burgers, Slice House Pizza and Starbird.
For those carrying cash, reverse ATMs are available to convert it to a prepaid card.
What's the bag policy?
Only clear bags no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches are permitted. Small clutch bags, no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches, are allowed. There are no lockers, so pack light.
What items are prohibited?
Skip the signs, banners, glow sticks, selfie sticks and light-up outfits. Power banks and phone charging cases are allowed.
Can I tailgate?
No. Tailgating and loitering without a ticket are not allowed in stadium lots.
What's the weather forecast?
Expect mostly clear skies, with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s. Pack sunscreen for the daytime and a light jacket for the cooler nights, which are expected to dip in the mid-50s.
With a sprawling 68,500-seat capacity — and the ability to expand to 75,000 — Levi's Stadium is bracing for a weekend of spectacle, sound and stardom. Just don't be surprised if the lines at In-N-Out stretch longer than the setlist.

The Deeper Meaning Behind the 'My Oxford Year' Ending Montage
Spoilers below. The coming-of-age genre loves to make its characters choose between a relationship and their future. We're seeing it in The Summer I Turned Pretty, with Belly abandoning plans to study in Paris to stay with her fiancé, Jeremiah (who didn't want her to go anyway). Earlier this spring, we saw it in Forever: Justin wants to go with Keisha to Howard University, but she'd prefer that they have their own experiences. There are many other instances of this in pop culture, usually with the girl choosing a boy over her dreams. Cosmopolitan recently pointed out examples in The Hills, Boy Meets World, and more. (And let's not forget how Nate became the villain in The Devil Wears Prada for trying to keep Andy from her job.) Watching these relationships as the audience, it might be easy to scold the women who choose the boy. Like, Girl, stand up! He is not worth it! My Oxford Year, Netflix's newest romance film, complicates that decision with life-or-death stakes. The movie stars Sofia Carson (the streamer's go-to leading lady) as Anna, a big dreamer and type-A planner who takes a gap year to fulfill her childhood fantasy of attending Oxford University. Once she's done with her poetry course, she has a high-profile finance job waiting for her back in the States. But then she falls for her hot professor, Jamie Davenport (Queen Charlotte's Corey Mylchreest), who messes up her plans. Despite their undeniable mutual attraction, Jamie wants to avoid getting into a committed relationship with Anna. Not because he's emotionally unavailable, but because he has terminal cancer and doesn't want to break her heart. He has even opted to not take further treatment, despite his family's objections. Still, he and Anna can't resist each other, and they go for it anyway. They are so in love that Anna finds herself facing a critical decision: Should she still go back to the U.S. for her Goldman Sachs job, or should she stay in the U.K. with Jamie to help take care of him and keep him company for however much time he has left? An integral factor in this situation is that Jamie vehemently does not want Anna to stay. She has such a bright future ahead of her; she shouldn't give it up for a guy she just met and who won't be around for much longer. 'I would never make you make such a bloody stupid decision,' he tells her, also pointing out that there isn't much career growth if she decides to work at the university. When Anna tells him she isn't taking the Goldman job after all, he's furious. But Anna and Jamie's relationship has been quite eye-opening for her. Throughout their time together, her lifelong love for poetry and literature has only deepened. She expresses her dreams of traveling the world. She loves the Henry David Thoreau quote, 'Live life deliberately,' which has long inspired her to plan out every detail of her trajectory. But after encountering Jamie and his carpe diem approach to life, she realizes perhaps Thoreau was referring to something else. Living deliberately is not about planning everything, but about 'being definite about every small moment,' she says in the film. And what is life but not a series of moments? At the end of My Oxford Year, Anna and Jamie make up from their argument and spend the night together, but Anna wakes up to find Jamie nearly unconscious. He has a critical case of pneumonia that will likely kill him. At the hospital, the doctor wants to discuss next steps for treatment with Jamie's parents, but they decide to honor his wishes and let nature take its course. Back at home, lying on what is now Jamie's death bed, he and Anna talk about her future. Now that she's stayed in the U.K., she can go on the 'grand tour' she's always dreamed of. The itinerary includes Amsterdam, to see a hidden chapel; Paris, to get drunk by the Seine; Venice, to ride a gondola; and Greece, to see the Temple of Poseidon and swim in the Aegean Sea. As Anna plans her travels aloud, a tender montage of her and Jamie visiting these sites appears onscreen—until, in the end, it's revealed that she was alone the whole time. When the film jumps back to Jamie and Anna on the bed, it appears he has died right beside her. She might not have Jamie physically with her when she goes on her dream trip, but she does take his lessons and worldview with her as she moves forward with her life. As Carson previously told ELLE, their relationship 'changes her forever and for the better,' because she learns to 'lean into what brings her joy and what always was the love of her life, and that was poetry and literature.' Sure enough, in the film's final scene, Anna is now a professor at Oxford, teaching a poetry class of her own. My Oxford Year argues that choosing your love is choosing your future—especially if that love helps you achieve the dreams you were too scared to chase. In a sense, it eliminates the decision entirely, because you can have both; you can have your cake and eat it too. It's very romantic, it's melodramatic, and it's definitely rare, but it works in the context of a sappy, two-hour Netflix film with Sylvia Plath references and idyllic English settings. But in the cases of Belly from TSITP or Lauren from The Hills (who are both 'the girl who didn't go to Paris'), or any experience rooted deeper in reality, it's not quite the same. Those decisions, and the men involved, require a little more... deliberating.

Pranksters' video doling out snacks on CA train that prohibits them goes viral
A prank snack video made about a California train that prohibits food and drink is going viral. A group of pranksters aboard a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train donned themselves in suits and rolled a snack cart through the car, doling out pretzels, drinks and even hand wipes. Commuters on the train captured the cheeky moment on video and clips of it have gone viral on social media. Advertisement In one TikTok video, which racked up more than 460,000 views, a woman in a suit is pushing a cart that reads 'Flight Attendants in Training,' and dispensing single mini pretzels to passengers using tongs. BART enforces a strict no food or drink policy in all of its paid areas, defined as places where you need a ticket to enter, such as the platform and train itself. 'We have 360,000 riders each work day, many of whom spoke loudly and clearly in our last passenger satisfaction survey that BART trains need to be cleaner,' BART General Manager Dorothy Dugger said on its website. Advertisement 'That's why this year we've started investing in purchasing new seats, replacing carpet with composite flooring and hiring more train car cleaners. But let's face it, BART cars jostle and passengers bump into each other. It would simply be impossible for us to meet our goal of a cleaner BART if we had to keep up with all the spilled coffee and food were we to allow passengers to eat or drink on trains and platforms.' Californians were in on the joke that took a playful jab at the rigid restrictions. 'As a Bart rider, this is actually hilarious,' one TikToker wrote. 'How Bart should be,' another said. Advertisement 'The way I'm hollering as a Bay Area girlie,' someone else said. Others praised the pranksters for their ingenious and humorous idea. BART enforces a strict no food or drink policy in areas commuters access through payment. Olga – Advertisement 'Best use of human free will,' one said. 'Did she hand them a single pretzel with a prong? Lmao,' another added. Another video emerged on Reddit, documenting another of the pranksters, a man also sporting a suit, pushing a cart of snacks called 'Bart Air,' while a woman behind him was dispersing single hand wipes. Commenters on Reddit also gushed about the innovative scheme. 'Saving lives!' one said. Free hand wipe? Don't mind if I do!' another added. However, another pointed out that there was one thing lacking from the group's game plan. 'Missed opportunity to call it a BART cart,' they quipped.

Brunello Cucinelli Transformed the Hamptons Into an Italian Piazza for a Night
The threat of rain didn't deter guests—including Christie Brinkley and Alexandra Daddario—from donning their finest Brunello Cucinelli and heading to the Wölffer Estate Stables in The Hamptons last night. Upon arrival, they were immediately and perhaps unexpectedly transported to an Italian piazza, where two long, winding tables circled a fountain and a makeshift mercato was set up, stocked to the brim with tomatoes, cheese, and charcuterie. Dressed in the quiet luxury brand's signature shades of beige, cream, and brown, attendees mingled during cocktail hour, chatting about the looming storm and their end-of-summer plans out east. 'I brought sunglasses too, but where's the sun?' joked Kelly Turlington Burns. Next, the evening gave way to a seated dinner with an Umbrian-style menu of rigatoni pomodoro and gelato with fresh fruit, serenaded by live acoustic guitar, and naturally paired with Wölffer Estate Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. 'This was a tiny little farmhouse on a potato field,' co-host Joey Wölffer told the crowd, gesturing around the space. 'It's spectacular. It's way more than I could ever imagine.' Brunello Cucinelli CEO Riccardo Stefanelli flew in for a quick 24 hours to make an appearance. 'I'm not complaining—being in such a beautiful place with such beautiful people,' he said. 'There are many words—beauty, dignity, craftsmanship, attention to detail—but what we have here is not just a winery or a cellar, it's a community.' Scroll through below for an inside look. Claire Stern Milch is the Digital Director at ELLE, where she oversees all content and strategy. Previously, she was Deputy Editor at ELLE. Her interests include fashion, food, travel, music, Peloton, and The Hills—not necessarily in that order. She used to have a Harriet the Spy notebook and isn't ashamed to admit it.
