\t\t\t\t\tPlayboi Carti Asserts Opium Dominance With Record-Breaking Sixth Headlining Set at Rolling Loud Orlando: \u2018F\u2014k the\u00a0Budget\u2019\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tThe rapper, who is supporting The Weeknd on the London stretch of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, returned to the stage during the headliner\u2019s set to reunite with The Weeknd for two of their biggest collaborations: \u201cTimeless\u201d and \u201cRather Lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Weeknd\u2019s revamped 2026 setlist features over 30 songs spanning his career, from After Hours<\/em> favorites such as \u201cAfter Hours\u201d and \u201cFaith\u201d to Hurry Up Tomorrow<\/em> cuts including \u201cBaptized in Fear,\u201d \u201cOpen Hearts\u201d and \u201cWake Me Up.\u201d But midway through the set, the energy shifted toward Carti territory, with the pair launching into \u201cTimeless\u201d before following it with \u201cRather Lie.\u201d Capital FM reports that Carti joins The Weeknd onstage for both collaborations.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe onstage reunion is fitting as Carti serves as the direct supporting act for The Weeknd across his five-night Wembley run, which kicked off on Aug. 14. The two artists\u2019 chemistry is hardly new. They first unveiled \u201cTimeless\u201d during The Weeknd\u2019s one-night-only concert in S\u00e3o Paulo in September 2024, ahead of the song\u2019s official release later that month.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd the numbers behind their collabs are pretty staggering. \u201cTimeless,\u201d from The Weeknd\u2019s Hurry Up Tomorrow<\/em>, climbed all the way to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also snagged a two-week No. 1 run on Billboard\u2019s Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, earlier this year, Carti and The Weeknd doubled down with \u201cRather Lie\u201d from Carti\u2019s Music<\/em>. The track debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, dated March 29, 2025, marking another top five hit for the duo. \u201cRather Lie\u201d reached No. 3 on Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Weeknd\u2019s After Hours Til Dawn Tour moves on to Dublin for two shows at Croke Park on Aug. 22-23 after the five-night Wembley Stadium run.<\/p>\n
