Ayon sa promoter, hindi matutuloy ang konsiyerto na naka‑iskedyul noong 16 Setyembre matapos ang tinawag nilang “100‑year storm” noong nakaraang linggo na nagkalat ng mga upuan at ilang bahagi ng grandstand sa Rogers Stadium; sinabi ng Live Nation sa lungsod na aalisin at muling itatayo ang mga naapektuhang bahagi at ipagpapaliban ang muling pagbubukas hanggang sa susunod na tag-init. Naglabas ng violation notice ang mga inspector ng lungsod at nag‑utos ng ulat mula sa isang engineer, na naipasa ng Live Nation sa Lungsod bago ang deadline noong 8 Setyembre.

Sumagot ang mga crew sa maraming insidente, kabilang ang isang two‑alarm na sunog na may kaugnayan sa mga baterya ng e‑bike.

Sinabi ni Tavares na inimbitahan niya ang 18 anyos na si McKenna mula sa Whitehorse na manirahan sa kanyang pamilya habang sinisimulan ng rookie ang kanyang pro season, isang hakbang na inayos matapos ang pag‑uusap nila ng bagong GM na si John Chayka sa NHL/NHLPA player media tour. Binanggit ni Tavares ang kanyang karanasan bilang No. 1 overall pick noong 2009.
