The opening date of The Weeknd’s new stadium tour was postponed after a nationwide outage of one of Canada’s biggest phone networks caused problems for venue operations.
The pop-superstar was reportedly onsite at the Rogers Centre in his hometown of Toronto on Friday, before the malfunction affected the stadium’s infrastructure.
The stadium, also home to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team, apologised to customers and promised that a new date would be organised in due course.
“We regret to announce that The Weeknd tour stop at Rogers Centre has been postponed due to service outages impacting venue operations,” a statement posted online read.
