What to wear

For The Romantic Tour, the unofficial dress code is definitely the colour red, which can be incorporated into simple pairings like black and white and comfortable items that allow you to dance around.

How to get there
The first thing concert-goers should keep in mind is that The Romantic Tour concerts are taking place at the Rogers Stadium, which is located north of the city, and not to be confused with the Rogers Centre, which is downtown.
The best way to get there is by transit, with the TTC or GO Train service, with nearby stations including Downsview Park Station, Sheppard West Station and Wilson Station that leave attendees a quick walk from the gates.
However, concert goers should be mindful of route changes, as there will be no GO Transit service at Downsview Park over the weekend due to planned track work.
Commuters also have other options to access the stadium, including driving or rideshare, although they should review drop-off and pick-up areas and available parking before getting on the road.

Weather conditions
The Rogers Stadium is an outdoor venue, which means considering the weather is essential to make sure fans have a good time.
Those attending the concert this weekend should gear up for some light rain during the show, with temperatures expected to hit a low of 10 C on Saturday and 12 C on Sunday, so a jacket might be needed.
For now, the forecast for concerts on May 27, 28, and 30 predict sunny skies and warmer temperatures.
