Bryan Adams’ concert in Perth, scheduled for 9 February 2025 at the RAC Arena, was cancelled due to a significant sewer blockage caused by a "fatberg"—a mass of fat, grease, and debris—that disrupted water supplies to the venue. Fans gathered outside the arena only to be informed of the cancellation, prioritised for public health due to concerns about potential sewage backups in the restrooms.
WA’s Water Corporation issued a statement advising the public to steer clear of pooled wastewater on Wellington Street while crews address the blockage. They cautioned that anyone who comes into contact with the water should ensure their footwear is cleaned and dried thoroughly.
The arena has assured ticket holders that they will receive updates soon and do not need to take any immediate action. Bryan Adams, renowned for his hits like Summer of ’69 and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, boasts a celebrated career spanning over four decades.
