The Weekend was a pop rock band from London, Ontario, Canada.

The Weekend has lent its music to feature film soundtracks (Freaky Friday, Uptown Girls, D.E.B.S.) and television shows such as The Simple Life 2 and Mary-Kate and Ashley's So Little Time.[1]

The band name led fellow Canadian singer the Weeknd to spell his name without the last “e”, to avoid copyright issues. [2]
