The Weeknd's Las Vegas concert was "lit" after a massive fire erupted outside the venue last Saturday night. Good thing the concert has ended and most of the fans have gone home.

Authorities have not yet responded initially to the incident, and, leaving fans, got a hold of more footage of the blazing fire.

Thankfully, no fans nor Abel was harmed by the fire, but it would seem like the fire scorched one important "After Hours Till Dawn" asset.

The Weeknd Las Vegas Concert Fire: What Happened?

According to Fox News, who initially reported the news, the Allegiant Stadium in Sin City Las Vegas erupted into a fire as fans were leaving the stadium for The Weeknd's "After Hours Till Dawn" concert.

Fire authorities were able to mitigate the fire quickly after responding at around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Despite no fan being harmed in the fire, video reports on social media show that the fire started on a trailer truck.

Later on, it was revealed that The Weeknd's "After Hours Till Dawn" Merchandise truck caught fire outside the Allegiant Stadium in its parking area. (via Variety)

As seen on videos, the whole truck was scorched to the drunk, leaving almost no salvageable limited edition merchandise from the multi-platinum singer.

As of this writing, there has been no information yet on what or who caused the fire snapped on social media. The Clark County Fire Department, Las Vegas Fire Department, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and Allegiant Stadium have yet to issue more information.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd posted photos of the Las Vegas concert on his Instagram account, but no mentions or reference to the blazing merchandise truck nor assurance to his fans were seen.

Fans who posted the videos on Twitter have poked fun at the coincidence of the fire and The Weeknd's concert.

"I guess The Weeknd set the place on fire! #AllegiantStadium #theweekndconcert," a fan posted on Twitter.
