The Canadian pop superstar began his five-night run at the London venue on Friday night (August 14), and a large fireworks display accompanied the set’s closing track ‘Moth To A Flame’.
It came just hours after the UK government sent out an emergency alert to phones across England and Wales to give a “severe” warning about the risk of wildfires across the country.
The fact that the fireworks went ahead prompted criticism from some online, with one person writing: “Clearly organisers at @wembleystadium didn’t get tonight’s Government alert eh?”.

The government alert was a safety guidance message, and while it has introduced a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecues, it has not done the same for fireworks.
The same alert caused a surreal moment at Boomtown Festival, where thousands of phones throughout the campsite emitted the siren at the same time. Footage, seen below, went viral with festivalgoers responding with laughter and cheering.
The Weeknd played the second of his Wembley shows last night (August 15) and is due to return tonight, followed by two more performances on Tuesday and Wednesday (August 18 and 19).
