But Mayor Michelle Wu shared on Friday new details about what happened, stating that it was the decision of Live Nation to cancel the shows; The city inspectors only intervene in problems in permanent structures.
“Unfortunately, security is always priority and, in this case, the organizers decided, as a precaution, that security was the first and the show could not move on,” Wu a NBC10 Boston and Telemundo New England told NBC10. “The city always yields to the organizers when they decide that there is a problem.”
He also reiterated how disappointed that people should be when the shows are lost.
