On Wednesday night (June 29) Rihanna
played Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium as part of her ‘Anti’ tour.
But it seems you didn't need a ticket to enjoy the gig, as residents
from up to 10 miles away took to Twitter to complain about the noise
coming from the stadium.
One
resident wrote: ‘@rihanna your awful concert disturbed most of
Manchester tonight. Not all of us want to be kept awake by the noise you
create. #Nuisance!’ Another said: ‘@rihanna needs to get an ASBO for
the noise she's caused in Manchester tonight.’
Resident Jeannette Davidson even
called local paper the Manchester Evening News
to complain: “The noise is ridiculous. We are miles away and can still
hear the whole thing. The windows are closed too and it’s still coming
through into the house,” she said.
But according to the Manchester Evening News,
the show was within noise limits. Bosses at Old Trafford told the
newspaper they only received only a ‘small number’ of complaints about
noise. They added that the sound, which was monitored before and during
the concert, was compliant with the acceptable levels set out by
Trafford Council under the terms of its licence.
But
while some residents were left unhappy, Rihanna did bring a smile to
fans who were waiting in the rain before the show. The singer ordered 20
boxes of pizza which were given out to waiting fans along with towels
to dry themselves off.
