In Flames - Cancel Nancy Show After Paris Terrorist Attacks
Swedish metallers In Flames have cancelled their show in Nancy, France in the wake of the tragedy in Paris. After the terror acts at Le Bataclan during an Eagles Of Death Metal show as well as attacks in other locations, the band didn't perform yesterday but will return today in Pratteln, Switzerland.
The group explained: "In the light of the absolutely horrific events in Paris last night, we have decided to cancel tonight's show in Nancy. We will spend the day thinking of our friends, colleagues, fans and families that were affected. With respect, In Flames."
Deftones were scheduled to play at Le Bataclan yesterday and for three nights in a row, and had been at the venue the day of the attack. In fact, some members of the band and crew were attending the Eagles Of Death Metal concert on Friday night, but left the venue 15 minutes before the terrorist attack began, fortunately for them.

In my opinion, not a good choice. You should have stood up and went up with the show instead of bowing down before terror. This is a french man talking, we won't change our life because of sick bastards !

Written by s_t_s on 15.11.2015 at 13:45 Indeed. Sadly, I'm expecting wave of concerts cancelled in the next few weeks... On the other hand, I wasn't there - forgot about it - but Gorod and Mass Hysteria did play yesterday evening in Toulouse, for about 850 people it seems. Which is good.

Yes, many bands are cancelling their shows in Paris at the moment. Motörhead have already postponed their show in France too. I also think it would be better to do these shows. Maybe the bands think people will be scared to attend?

Written by BloodTears on 15.11.2015 at 20:39 maybe. It's sure less people will go out and attend shows, go to restaurants and stuff... And while I totally understand bands that fear for their (and their fans's) security, I still think it would be better to keep them as planned. Haven't bought the tickets yet, but I have Nightwish, Yossi Sassi, and Misanthrope / Stille Volk planned in the next few weeks...

Metal bands don't play in such areas where acts can happen, I have no opinion what is better cancer or not , unless cancel means get money back ,then why not but I understand people Sport events also are canceled in France this week, but seems Fra-Eng ball game will go on ...

Nightwish recently made a point of NOT cancelling. This looks pretty weak in comparison.

Written by Darkside Momo on 15.11.2015 at 22:04 I certainly won't stop attending shows but I'll probably remember Le Bataclan the next times I enter a venue. I wish Nightwish would come to Portugal though ;/

Written by BloodTears on 16.11.2015 at 19:05 Oh, I will too. How could I do otherwise? BTW I love Nightwish's response to the events (seen on their FB: Quote:

Written by Darkside Momo on 16.11.2015 at 20:48 Yeah, as I wrote a couple posts above here, Nightwish are actually making a very good statement. Whereas all these other bands now look like cowards. Some of them have legit reasons, such as the venue being shut down due to the attacks, but some are just making excuses or cancelling for no reason...
