Strasbourg's concert venue La Laiterie has announced the cancellation of several upcoming shows, scheduled from 09/10 to 22/10. Those include one of the two French dates of Accept's 2014 tour, one of the French dates of In Flames' 2014 European tour and one of the French dates of Anathema's 2014 European tour. The findings of a recent security inspection pointed out a potential safety hazard in the main concert hall. As a consequence, the city of Strasbourg - the owner - decided to temporarily shut down the place pending its return to compliance with the regulatory requirements.

Statement from the venue: "Yesterday the town council of Strasbourg (owner of the venue La Laiterie) had detected a technical problem in the Grand Hall. For the public safety, the Grand Hall of La Laiterie in Strasbourg has to be closed in emergency for rehabilitation until the 22nd October 2014. No shows can go on in the Grand Hall of La Laiterie during this period. Tickets are refundable trough retailers."

Any ticket purchased online through the official website should be automatically reimbursed. A re-scheduling of the cancelled shows is currently under discussion.
