Live Nation Offers Refunds for UK Shows Following Manchester Attack
Live Nation has announced that it will offer refunds for UK concerts, following the bombing at Ariana Grande’s Manchester performance on May 22. The refunds are available to fans who choose to request them, a Live Nation representative confirmed to Pitchfork. Several artists have cancelled concerts in the area following the attacks. Among the performers who have cancelled or postponed shows are KISS, Blondie, and Take That, according to Billboard. In addition, Ariana Grande recently announced that she has suspended her tour through June 5.
After reports confirmed that a suicide bomber was responsible for the attacks, the UK government raised the terror threat level to “critical,” indicating another attack may be imminent. Authorities identified the attacker as 22-year-old Salman Abedi. As of today, the Greater Manchester Police have arrested eight people in their ongoing investigation.
