An absolutely amazing performance by A$AP Rocky on Canada Day at Rogers Arena. He hit the stage around 9:30 p.m. and gave it everything he had from start to finish. There was no opener, making the wait a little longer, but it was well worth it.
The show opened with a police search-style intro, with officers "looking" for A$AP in the crowd before he burst onto the stage from the pit with fans surrounding him as "Trunks" kicked off the night. It was an incredible entrance that immediately set the tone for the rest of the show.
One of the most wholesome moments came midway through the concert when Rocky spotted a fan in the pit dancing with a crocheted "DON'T BE DUMB" blanket. He motioned for security to bring it to him, thanked the fan, and continued to wear it for the rest of the show.
Throughout the night, the energy never dropped. The crowd was loud, the pit was nonstop, and Rocky matched that energy every second he was on stage.
Before the final song, A$AP left the crowd with one message: "Don't drink and drive, do not be racist, and most importantly... don't be dumb."
Just when Vancouver thought the show was over, the lights came back up and A$AP returned for one final surprise. Instead of ending with the usual setlist, he performed "Sandman" as an unexpected encore, giving fans two more minutes before walking off the stage.
