Downpour at Chris Brown’s Toronto Show Triggers Safety Complaints at Rogers Stadium

The venue has not issued a public response on safety protocols ahead of a second sold-out show.

Overview

  • A heavy rainstorm during the Aug. 19 Breezy Bowl XX concert left walkways flooded and slick, with attendees reporting falls and possible injuries.
  • Fans described prolonged bottlenecks when leaving Rogers Stadium, with some saying the exit took close to an hour.
  • Rogers Stadium had advised a rain-or-shine event and recommended ponchos, but several attendees said they were still soaked.
  • Videos on social platforms showed crowds navigating the venue’s long walk in muddy conditions and wringing out clothes on transit.
  • The tour’s second Toronto date remains set for tonight after rapid sellouts for both shows, as many praised the performance even as others raised safety concerns and Exclaim highlighted Brown’s past allegations.
