US EditionColdplay Frontman Thanks Toronto Concert-Goers for Coming to ‘Weird Stadium in the Middle of Nowhere’
TORONTO, ONTARIO, JUL 7 – Fans reported up to two-hour exit delays and limited facilities at Rogers Stadium's inaugural event, prompting city officials and safety experts to seek improvements for Coldplay concerts.
- Between Monday and Saturday, Coldplay held four shows at Rogers Stadium, a recently opened outdoor arena in northern Toronto with a capacity of 50,000 spectators.
- The venue's inaugural events, including a Stray Kids concert, faced criticism for long exit times, limited water and bathroom access, poor signage, and lack of accessibility.
- Fans experienced extended delays of up to two hours when exiting, along with challenges navigating the venue and insufficient transit support, prompting Live Nation Canada to enhance the fan experience by increasing the number of signs, improving lighting, deploying additional personnel, and providing more hydration stations.
- Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin described the venue as an unusual stadium located far from any major area and expressed his gratitude to fans for persevering through the difficult journey involving heavy traffic, long travel times, and crowded trains.
- Officials, including local councillor Pasternak, expressed determination to improve safety and fan experience, expecting changes for Coldplay's concerts this week.
