Arijit Singh’s London Concert ‘Saiyaara’ After Power Shutdown Due to Curfew; Viral Video Draws Mixed Reactions

London: Arijit Singh’s recent concert in London ended abruptly after the venue authorities enforced a strict 10:30 pm curfew, leaving thousands of fans stunned. The incident, caught on camera and now viral across social media, has sparked a wave of online debate.

The evening had reached its emotional peak when Singh began performing a reprised version of “Saiyaara,” originally sung by Faheem Abdullah. Fans sang along in unison, swaying to the melody, until the performance was suddenly interrupted. As the clock struck past curfew, the stage lights dimmed and the sound was cut, halting the show instantly.

In the video circulating online, a visibly surprised Singh could be seen mid-performance as the venue slipped into silence. Spectators, unaware at first, eventually began filing out of the stadium without hearing the singer’s customary farewell.

One viral post shared the clip with the caption: “London stadium allegedly cut power at Arijit Singh’s show without letting him complete his song or say goodbye due to the strict 10:30 PM curfew.”

Online Reactions Divided

The incident drew mixed responses on social media. While many fans expressed disappointment at not getting closure to the magical evening, others defended the venue, saying adherence to curfew rules is routine practice in London stadiums.

“Rules are rules, I wish this was India,” wrote one user, while another added: “Noise pollution is taken seriously in the UK violations can even be reported by nearby residents. Arijit’s late arrival only pushed the show beyond time.”

Some fans, however, suggested that Singh himself often ends concerts dramatically. “It’s Arijit’s style. He did the same at shows in India too cutting music at the climax and letting the crowd take over with fireworks,” one fan explained.

Others backed the organisers outright: “Nothing wrong in this. Rules are rules.”

Performance Still Resonates

Despite the abrupt shutdown, Singh’s soulful performance especially his rendition of “Saiyaara”continues to trend across social media, with clips from the concert shared widely by attendees.

The show may have ended without closure, but for many, the night remains unforgettable for both its music and its unexpected finale.
