Canadian rocker Bryan Adams called off his highly-anticipated New Year’s Eve concert at Vancouver’s Roger’s Arena soon after the province announced new COVID-19 restrictions Friday.
The new measures limit attendance to 50 per cent at venues with more than 1,000 people, so the event could go ahead at half-capacity. However, Adams called it off entirely.
Due to the continuing onset of the Omicron virus, the Provincial Government has limited attendance of all events & cancelled New Year’s Eve events, which means that the New Year’s Eve concert starring Bryan Adams is cancelled. All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. pic.twitter.com/vJOhVCq1a5

North Vancouver’s favourite son was set to be joined by special guests Mother Mother and 54-40.
“Vancouver can expect a one-of-a-kind event, unlike any other New Year’s Eve celebrations the city has seen,” Live Nation Canada said when announcing the event, adding “the show will be a salute to Vancouver’s talent and legacy.”
“Following a year of major uncertainty for live events both nationally and globally, Live Nation Canada is ecstatic to see a return to live events, and to help bring music lovers an unforgettable night. Get ready, Vancouver, to ring in the New Year unlike ever before,” a statement from the company adds.
All ticket holders will be refunded, Adams said in a tweet.
CityNews was a sponsor of this event.
