No one is having a tougher time than Drake fans in Vancouver, and it shows.
October’s Very Own was set to take the stage at Rogers Arena in Vancouver but the show got cancelled at the last minute, leaving fans in utter disbelief with some even shedding emotional tears.

Live Nation British Columbia took to Instagram to break the news.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances with the newly installed scoreboard at Rogers Arena, tonight’s Drake performance will now take place on Wednesday, August 30,” the company wrote in a caption on Monday.
“All tickets will be honoured. The Drake show scheduled for August 29 will go on as planned. Drake was ready and excited to perform. He is looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rogers Arena apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause,” it continued.
Unfortunately, the message came too late as thousands of people gathered, with some holding signs they made, anticipating a great show. However, they were turned away just an hour or two shy of the show’s start time.
Videos posted to TikTok show what appeared to be an employee letting crowds of people know the concert was not happening.
The worker was met with both harsh words and sympathy since the situation was ultimately out of her control, and it’s not fair to shoot the messenger.
