Authorities say the park wasn’t full, but there was a considerable crowd of people already waiting for the show. Emergency crews have since cleared the area. A spokesperson for the venue tweeted that the concert has been cancelled.
The sold out Downsview Park show was the final date on the North American leg of Radiohead’s tour.
