Le groupe Eagles Of Death Metal qui jouait au Bataclan le 13 novembre 2015 revient pour le 16 février 2016 à l'Olympia afin de rendre hommage aux victimes des attentats.
Toutes les personnes rescapées du Bataclan sont évidemment invitées : on leur propose de retourner auprès de leur point d'achat du 5 au 20 janvier afin d'échanger leur billet du Bataclan contre une invitation pour l'Olympia. Une façon de résister…
Les places restantes seront mises en vente à partir du 20 janvier.
Et pour continuer à jouer en France, Eagles Of Death Metal se produira également le 24 février à Lille (Le Spendid) et le 1er mars à Nîmes (Paloma).
Ci-dessous, le communiqué officiel du groupe :
(Wednesday 16th December 2015)
EODM will return to Europe in 2016 to complete their postponed tour dates, including what will surely be an emotional return to Paris.
The rescheduled trek – The Nos Amis Tour – will see the band set to finish the tour that was cut short by the tragic events of November 13th at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris.
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 refunded tickets. They will need to provide proof of original purchase.
EODM co-founder and frontman Jesse Hughes says:
“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."
Eagles Of Death Metal have also today announced that they will return to the U.K. to play Reading and Leeds. The festivals take place on the bank holiday weekend of August 26th - 28th.
