Thousands attend Daniel Caesar’s free, pop-up concert in Vancouver

On Tuesday, several thousand fans of Daniel Caesar went to John Hendry Park in East Vancouver, when the musician R&B took place for a free pop -up window.

The 30-year-old artist, born in Skarboro, born in Ontario, announced the show on Instagram on the same day, providing his base of Gen Z fans for only a couple of hours.

“The crowd went crazy,” said 26-year-old Kim Alunan, noting the number of people who appeared.

The participants gathered a scene from all sides, still inflating on a flat, saturated trees with a grass field, which for most people could not see Caesar when he hummed into a microphone.

“I think it's really great that he came to Vancouver, I would like to see him better, but it's still cool,” Alunan said.

Considering that many could not come close enough to see the scene, people turned to alternatives to get a better performance. (Tessa Vikander/CBC)

The event was part of the recently declared tour of the free show of Caesar, which began with the show in Toronto Park on weekendsField

But on Tuesday evening, the Vanouver Park advice told CBC News in an email that the show was “not expected or planned.”

Some participants climbed the trees to see Caesar, while several chosen ones became creative: one stood on the garbage tank, the other on a bicycle seat and several on chairs.

Several hundred people retreated from the crowd, resigning, just hearing soft melodic songs.

“It’s just nice to express … I absolutely don’t see, I just perceive what I can listen to,” said Lance Paul, who said that he appreciates Caesar's music for his soothing effect.

The umbrellas opened and closed when dark -gray clouds were periodically opened in light rain.

Vancouver’s police were present on the outskirts of the crowd, and some officers located on the edge of the park can be heard by discussing the plans for monitoring the crowd when the concert ended.

The concert visitor and fan Andre Roberts traveled for almost an hour with his friends to see the show, but they retreated to the field, unable to see him.

Despite the disappointment, they stood together, laughing and joked. Roberts said that he just wanted them to get before before.
