Drake fans in Brisbane had a rough start to his concert on Monday night, as they were left stranded outside the venue for hours due to unexplained delays. The chaos unfolded at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, where thousands of concertgoers stood in long queues, some waiting as long as four hours before gaining entry.
Frustration Mounts as Fans Wait in Long Queues
Doors were supposed to open at 5:30 PM, but frustrated attendees reported that people weren’t let in until 7 PM, with some still stuck outside at 9 PM. Social media exploded with complaints, as fans shared footage of the massive crowd growing restless.
One fan posted on TikTok:
“Drake concert Brissy situation! Gates were meant to open at 5:30 PM, it’s now 7:16 PM lollllll.”
Another fan, desperate for relief, wrote: “Help, I need to pee.” Many complained about the lack of toilets, food, and water, while others noted that even the on-site bathrooms had massive queues.
What Caused the Delay?
There’s no official explanation yet, but rumors circulated that Drake was still doing a soundcheck when fans arrived. Some venue staff reportedly told concertgoers they couldn’t enter until the check was complete, but no statement was released to clarify the situation.
Meanwhile, OnlyFans model Blue Kayla Jade hinted on social media that she was having dinner and drinks with Drake before his performance. This only fueled speculation, with some wondering if the rapper’s pre-show plans contributed to the delay.
Drake’s Eventful Australian Tour
Drake’s Australian tour has been packed with drama. Last week, he made headlines in Sydney after a drone invaded his privacy at Crown Sydney, prompting him to hurl an orange slide at the airborne intruder. The video went viral, but eagle-eyed fans speculated it was staged as a promo for online casino Stake, with whom Drake is partnered.
Despite the Brisbane delay, Drake’s tour continues, with two more Brisbane shows before he returns to Sydney on March 7 for his final Australian performance.
For now, fans are just hoping for smoother entry next time—and maybe a few more toilets outside the venue.
