February 9, 2025
In addition to the concert news, it's worth noting that Adams was recently nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame class of 2025 alongside other notable artists.
Ticket holders will receive updates via email regarding the rescheduling of the concert, and they do not need to take any action concerning their tickets.
Following the cancellation, Adams was seen at Perth Airport heading to Sydney for his next performance scheduled for February 12, 2025.
Despite the setback in Perth, Adams is set to continue his tour with upcoming performances in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney later that week.
A Bryan Adams concert in Perth, Australia, was abruptly canceled due to a significant sewage overflow caused by a blockage of fat, grease, and rags.
Adams took to Facebook to express his regret to fans, stating he was looking forward to the show and appreciated their patience despite the unfortunate circumstances.
He also expressed disappointment over the cancellation and thanked fans for their understanding while the promoter worked on rescheduling the concert.
Many fans had been queuing outside the arena since early evening, but they received no notification about the cancellation until shortly before the scheduled start time.
The concert promoter, Frontier Touring, described the cancellation as 'bitterly disappointing' and stated that ticket refunds would be processed automatically.
The Water Corporation confirmed that their crews were actively working to clear the blockage and advised the public to avoid contact with pooled water in the vicinity.
Authorities expressed concerns about potential sewage backup affecting the venue's toilets, ultimately deeming it unsafe for concert attendees.
The situation in Perth left both the audience disappointed and local water authorities struggling to address the problem in time for the concert.
