Dua Lipa has said she is “so deeply sorry” after a series of unauthorized fireworks were set off during her performance in Canada on Wednesday night. Videos circulating on social media appear to show fans disperse as a number of fireworks explode across the floor section near the sound booth at Scotiabank Arena, Toronto. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, some fans were reportedly injured during the incident but required no further treatment after being seen by venue medics.

“Last night, unauthorized fireworks went off in the crowd during my set in Toronto,” the 26-year-old singer wrote in a story. “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. There is an ongoing investigation into the events being conducted.”
“Bringing this show to life for my fans has been such an amazing experience, and I am so deeply sorry for anyone who was scared, felt unsafe or whose enjoyment of the show was affected in any way.”
In a reported statement, venue owner Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment said it was cooperating with police to investigate the “reckless and dangerous act.” Fans online claimed that bag checks by concert security at the entrance were not strict enough. One user on Twitter said staff “barely checked any of the bags…they just seemed so rushed.”
In November 2021, Travis Scott‘s packed Astroworld music festival became one of the deadliest concerts in history – with footage of fans bursting through gates and bypassing security checkpoints. If that weren’t enough, in Hong Kong this week, a giant screen fell and injured two dancers in front of horrified fans at a concert by the hugely popular boy band Mirror.
