U2 Will Play Paris

The concert that U2 was scheduled to perform for HBO to broadcast to the world, live from Paris, earlier this month, has a new air date, kids.

This, of course, was the show that the band postponed in the aftermath of the attacks on Paris on Nov. 13....

“U2: iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE LIVE IN PARIS” is now set for Monday, Dec. 7, airing live at 9 p.m. EST.

Good!

See, “The killers took so much from Paris on [that] tragic night, but they couldn’t steal the spirit of [the City of Lights],” said Bono in a statement about the rescheduled show (two shows, actually; the band is playing on Dec. 6-7 to honor the tickets that were meant for Nov. 14-15). “It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows. We’re going to put on our best for Paris.”

It shall be a night to remember and celebrate the lives taken by celebrating freedom and joy over oppression, hate, and terror, and I’ll be watching.
