Internet defends organisers

Reacting to this, a person commented, "Wish India took curfew times this seriously too." A fan said, "Noise Pollution is taken seriously in the UK, which includes people reporting any violation past the curfew time. Arijit also came late to the venue, one of the reasons for the delayed end." “Rules are rules. I wish this had happened in India, too,” a comment read

A few fans were left heartbroken. A person said, "Arijit Singh concert in London. Power cut due to a curfew? The show must go on! Fans are heartbroken. What a story!"

"They shut him off at 10:30 pm because that was the agreed-upon time to end the show, and he was in the middle of a song at that time," tweeted another X user.

Arijit sang at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 5. This concert is historic as Arijit is the first Indian artist to headline a stadium in the UK.
