Bryan Adams’ concert in Perth, Australia, Sunday had to be rescheduled due to a plumbing issue.
Frontier Touring, the promoter of the show, announced on social media that the concert at RAC Arena had to be postponed “due to an external Perth Water Corporation issue, which was unable to be fixed in time,” adding, “The issue, which impacted all of Wellington Street, meant that it was deemed unsafe for patrons to enter RAC Arena.”
According to a statement posted by Perth Water Corporation Facebook, the issue was a “large blockage of fat, grease and rags,” commonly referred to as a fatberg, “which has caused several wastewater overflows at properties along Wellington Street.”
“The cancellation of show is bitterly disappointing, and we thank fans for their understanding that while every effort was made to proceed, this matter was outside the control of Bryan Adams, Frontier Touring and RAC Arena,” Frontier’s statement continued.
“I’m really sorry we couldn’t make this happen tonight—I was so looking forward to seeing you all,” Adams shared in his own post on social media. “I appreciate your patience and support and can’t wait to be back and play for you as soon as we can reschedule.”
Adams’ next show is scheduled for Tuesday in Sydney.
