At the concert, Arijit sang a bunch of songs, including Saiyaara, Jhoome Jo Pathaan, Rasiya, Ami Je Tomar and Sapphire, among others. A person shared a video of Arijit singing the Brahmastra song Deva Deva when the sound was cut off. The crowd was heard shouting as fireworks went off. The words on the video read, "Arijit Singh kept asking them for 20 more minutes...but at 10.30 pm sharp, Tottenham stadium pulled the plug." The caption read, "No goodbye, no last note. Just silence at 10:30 pm." After the stadium lights were turned off, crowd was seen walking out of the venue.

Following the video's release, reactions poured in online. While many fans were disappointed, others praised the enforcement of rules. "Rules are rules. I wish this had happened in India too," one user commented. Another said, "Noise pollution is taken seriously in the UK. Residents can report violations after curfew. Also, Arijit arrived late, which contributed to the delay." A third user noted, "If this can happen to A.R. Rahman in Mumbai, it can happen to anyone, anywhere."
