U2, Coldplay Pull Plug On Concerts After Paris Attacks

U2 cancelled a SRO concert in Paris scheduled for tonight in the wake of the deadly Paris attacks.

The cancellation appears to be a reaction to safety concerns. Β A rep for U2 said, “As a result of the ongoing state of emergency across France, the U2 Paris concert scheduled for 14th November will not be going ahead as planned.”

Ditto Coldplay, which cancelled a livestream concert Β set for the day of the attacks in L.A. Β Rather than expressing safety concerns, the band said the concert would not go on “out of respect for all the terrible events in Paris.”

There were other cancellations as well. Β The “Bridge of Spies” Paris premiere also did not go on.
