Though two of the four shows of the "Permission to Dance on Stage" concert, which is taking place at the SoFi Stadium in California's Inglewood, is over. It seems that concert attendees had been filming the entire concert in HD and then posting the footage online.

The prohibition includes live streaming, voice recordings, videos, and photographs. Apart from cellphones, other recording or filming devices are not allowed in the concert venue.
In case any concert-goer violates these rules, including recording on their phones, they may be asked to delete the captured footage and be forced to leave the concert premises.
