As previously promised by the band, Eagles of Death Metal will return to Europe this February to conclude their interrupted tour across the old continent and will finish their show in Paris. The band details their return to Paris in the following statement:
“Fans who were at the Bataclan show on November 13th will be entitled to a free ticket for the rescheduled Paris date at the Olympia Theatre on February 16th. They must contact their original ticket supplier between January 5th and January 20th to claim their ticket. Unfortunately, the Bataclan Theatre will not be open again in time for the band’s return on this tour.
Fans who previously bought tickets for the remaining European dates will have a pre-sale window beginning Thursday to re-purchase their re-funded tickets. They will need to provide proof of original purchase.”
After the tragic events that took place a month ago, it’s admirable to see the band trying to reschedule their show at Le Bataclan, particularly for frontman Jesse Hughes, who was deeply affected by the incident as we can see on the interview he did with VICE a few weeks ago but Hughes is pulling through and commented the following about the show:
“The people of Paris have always been incredible to us, and our feeling of love towards this beautiful city and its people has been reinforced a million times over this past month. Hearing the stories of the survivors, the injured and those who have lost loved ones has been overwhelming. Not returning to finish our set was never an option. We look forward to coming back in February and continuing our mission to bring rock ‘n’ roll to the world.”
