Moka Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The terrorists targeted a small venue (Bataclan) because it was easy to enter, they killed one security guard, pushed the door and were inside. There are only two exits, so the crowd was a bit trapped inside. Now, the Bercy Arena is big, the security team is huge, there are security checks at the entrances, CCTV and dozens of exits. And last but not least, the Bercy Arena faces the french Ministry for Economy and Finances (I mean, you cross the road and you're at the Ministry), so, let's say the neighborhood is full security with lots of police forces and nobody would attack such security area (unless you are really dumb and want to be arrested within 2 minutes ). I see no reason to cancel the show or to be afraid, we'll have a great time with the Queen and it will be a very emotional moment, no doubt about it!

Guest bluejean Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Why would she cancel? The point of these attacks is to create fear and hysteria and it would be much more effective and far more likely that if they strike again it will be in a different city, maybe even a different continent. If she's going to worry about her safety she can be worried about it wherever she is. But she's not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carta Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Foo Fighters really took the wrong decision imo It's ok to cancel the shows this week, by respect to the victims, but after that, this is kinda stupid. The tour was due to end on Thursday, so "this week" was all they had left. They were scheduled to play in Paris tonight (Monday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjmor95 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So apparently France's president wants to extend the state of emergency for another 3 months. That could really put these two shows in jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elayman Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So apparently France's president wants to extend the state of emergency for another 3 months. That could really put these two shows in jeopardy. Stiff Little Fingers I heard is still planning to go ahead with a concert tomorrow night so I really hope that holds up and she gets a chance to play. Surely they are not going to cancel the climate summit too ?? The state of emergency would probably just close show venues, bars and meeting places of any nature where there is high risk of an attack. ???

Raf Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The arena is returning to activities starting today. They basically said it's up to the artists to decide wether to come or cancel/reschedule but they are ready to host them with security worth of the circumstances.

Petit Lu Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hey guys! First post here but I ve been following since the rehearsals of the tour. I'm going to both shows in Paris. I 've been a Madonna fan for 25 years now and it is my first time seeing her live. So I 'm definitely going. Not afraid, life and show must go on. For your information, many artists are returning to the stage tonight in France, and particularly at Bercy Arena. I see no reason why she would cancel the shows (except of course if there were to be other attacks in the next three weeks). Security in Paris is ultra high right now.
