Kings of Leon cancel Manchester Arena following last month’s terror

Kings of Leon have canceled their Manchester Arena show after last month’s terror attack on May 22 stole the lives of 22 and injured 59 at the venue.

Kings of Leon were scheduled to perform a concert at the arena this week on Friday, June 9, but a statement posted to the venue’s website confirms that the show has now been canceled. The statement reads:

“Following last month’s tragic incident and the subsequent temporary closure of the main area outside the venue, Manchester Arena has no other option than to cancel this Friday’s Kings of Leon show. We apologise for not being able to stage this event and the inconvenience caused to our customers.

“The promoters have advised that the Sheffield Arena show on Saturday 10 June will go ahead as planned. Those that still want to see Kings of Leon and can make the Sheffield Arena show will be given the opportunity to re-book tickets with no booking fees (subject to availability). Ticketholders for Manchester’s show will be offered a full refund and fans should contact their point of purchase for further information.”
