The Rogers Centre — formerly called the Skydome — is a cashless venue and all transactions rely on wifi, except for fans who saved their tickets to Apple Wallet or other non-wifi-reliant apps. Restaurants were forced to serve on a cash-only basis; cafes and any business offering free wifi were packed. The outage, which began at around 4:30 a.m. ET, illuminated just how much modern society has come to rely on cellular coverage: Throughout the country, government and banking systems, parking and countless other businesses were incapable of processing transactions. And we’re taking actions along with our network vendors to recover the situation. It is a cashless venue and all ticketing, food, beverage and merch sales are tied to the wireless network.

Going from my first Mod Club show where fans saw my face for the first time to now playing Rogers Centre 11 years later is so humbling and incredible.

When I’m performing, I am intent to bring people into a story and a world to be lost in for those few hours. I’m sure that when ‘Blinding Lights’ was declared the most popular song of all time, you must have been ecstatic. But I’m so excited to perform for fans again that in some ways it’s effortless.
