LE BATACLAN TO REOPEN ONE YEAR AFTER PARIS ATTACKS, LAURENT GARNIER TO PLAY

Le Bataclan, the Paris venue hit as part of the coordinated terror attacks in Paris last year, is set to reopen its doors on Wednesday 16th November.

British musician and member of The Libertines, Pete Doherty, plays two nights on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th November, before Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour plays Friday 18th and Saturday 19th.

A week later, Laurent Garnier plays Le Bataclan on Saturday 24th at an A.K.A. club night, the booking agency co-managed by Nuits Sonores and Alias Production. There he’ll be joined by Voiron b2b Gordon and Arnaud Rebotini live.

89 people were killed at Le Bataclan when the historic concert hall, that was built during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III, was attacked by Islamic extremists in November last year.
