Anyone who has been to a summer concert on a hot night at BC Place has likely felt similar conditions, but the reaction to last night’s show seems particularly severe. Still, not everyone was bothered by the heat, with some suggesting it was the best concert of their lives.
Many have suggested that BC Place should have opened the roof, though this would’ve probably impacted the acoustics of the show.
BC Place was an oven last night for The Weeknd show… Open the damn roof you losers…

Some fans were even concerned for some of the performers.
“All the time I was thinking of dancers under all those red layers of clothes.”
The biggest question on the minds of Weeknd concertgoers was in regards to air conditioning.

It sounds like fans had a good time regardless of the sauna-like conditions.
“Everyone was dying lol. But he sounded amazing.”
