Sewer Emergency Cancels Bryan Adams Concert in Perth

A fatberg blockage has forced the cancellation of a highly anticipated concert by Bryan Adams in Australia due to health concerns.


The concert at RAC Arena was canceled after Perth's water corporation flagged a serious sewer blockage, citing public health risks. Bryan Adams expressed his disappointment and promised to work on rescheduling the show for fans.


A significant sewer blockage, described as a fatberg comprised of "fat, grease, and rags," resulted in the unfortunate cancellation of Bryan Adams' concert in Perth, Australia, intended for Sunday night. The city's water authority indicated that the blockage posed a health risk by threatening to back up the venue's plumbing.

Adams took to social media to express his regret, thanking the fans for their "patience and support" and assuring them that he aimed to reschedule. Despite the disappointment, the concert promoter confirmed that those who purchased tickets would receive a full refund, emphasizing that the situation was beyond their control.

Perth's water corporation revealed that this fatberg had already caused multiple wastewater overflows near the concert venue and advised against contact with any pooled water in the vicinity. They acknowledged the inconvenience the cancellation caused and promised further updates as necessary.

Known for classics like "Summer of '69," Bryan Adams has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Australian audiences since his first performance in 1984. He expressed his sadness publicly, stating how much he was looking forward to the event. The Canadian rock star's tour will continue as scheduled, with upcoming shows in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne later this week.

Fatbergs, notoriously known for blocking sewage systems worldwide, develop when grease, oil, and fat solidify and bind with trash, such as rags or wet wipes. These blockages are a growing environmental concern, with notable incidents reported across cities globally, including a fatberg in London that weighed as much as three double-decker buses.
