During this run, The Wknd Sessions has featured acts from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, and Brunei across a diverse range of music genres, such as pop, punk, metalcore, alternative, singer-songwriters and spoken word.
Participation on The Wknd Sessions was – and to a large extent, still is – voluntary in nature, worked on by a group of like-minded people with a common goal of advancing the music scene.
Artist selection for The Wknd Sessions is done via the show's creative team, who act in a similar capacity as a traditional A&R executive role.
The Wknd Sessions also adheres to a strict principle of not allowing acts directly associated with its creative team members to appear on the show.
A combination of gut feel, together with data gathered from the team attending shows, is used to whittle down the list from an initial pool of 30–50 acts.
A fixed venue was used from Season 3 onwards – typically any performance space that was available for booking – which gave the production more visual consistency.
Video releases are staggered across multiple days: Audio from The Wknd Sessions is also made available on various streaming platforms like Spotify and Deezer, as well as online stores like iTunes.
