U2 has announced that the two Paris concerts that were canceled due to the terrorist attacks earlier this month have been rescheduled for December 6 and 7.
One of the two shows was set to be broadcast live on HBO, but the horrific attacks in Paris led the band to cancel both performances. U2 had already performed two nights in Paris before the attacks.
The concert scheduled for Monday, December 7 will be filmed live and broadcast on HBO that evening at 9 p.m. eastern.
“So much that was taken from Paris on the tragic night of November 13th is irreplaceable,” said U2 frontman Bono in a statement. “For one night, the killers took lives, took music, took peace of mind — but they couldn’t steal the spirit of that city. It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows on December 6th and 7th. We’re going to put on our best for Paris.”
