Fans Get Injured at Dua Lipa's Toronto Concert Due to Unauthorized Fireworks

British pop star performed on July 27th, Wednesday night at the Scotiabank Arena, Toronto when an unidentified person set off a series of fireworks, which injured some of the fans present at the show. The unfortunate event that caused minor injuries to three people has been currently getting investigated. The Toronto concert became a nightmare for many.

As per the fan-captured videos from the concert, it can be seen that the fireworks were set off on the arena floor. After they were set off, fans started running towards seated parts of the concert to take cover. In the videos, Lipa did not appear to be alarmed as she didn’t even notice the incident.

After the show, Dua Lipa gave her statement on the matter through her Instagram Stories. She wrote, ‘Creating a safe and inclusive space at my shows is always my first priority, and my team and I are just as shocked and confused by the events as you all are. Many fans thought that the fireworks were part of the show and soon realized they were not.

She did not anticipate such an act happening at her concert and appeared very concerned for the safety of her fans.

The company stated, ‘At the end of a concert event at Scotiabank Arena, unauthorized and illegal fireworks were set off on the arena floor by a member of the audience. As a result, three attendees received minor aid on-site and were able to go home without a need for further medical attention.’

They also said, ‘As one of the premier venues in North America, creating a safe and secure venue for every attendee at Scotiabank Arena is MLSE’s top priority and we immediately began working in cooperation with Toronto Police to fully investigate this reckless and dangerous act.’

Dua Lipa is one of the headliners at the Lollapalooza festival on the night of July 29th. Earlier this month Dua Lipa made the headline by performing at the Roskilde festival in Denmark with Post Malone and Turnstile. She later participated in a fun game of beer pong backstage after the show. Post Malone shared the video of their game where the rapper made an amazing shot against Turnstile before the crown went crazy.
