Le Bataclan manager confirms that the venue will re-open

The manager of Le Bataclan, the Paris music venue which fell victim to Friday’s atrocities, has confirmed that the venue will re-open.

Speaking to Billboard, co-manager Dominique Revert stated that “It will reopen, no question about it. Hearts will be heavy for a few months, a few years. But we will reopen. We will not surrender.”

Friday 13th November saw the venue under siege as part of numerous terrorist attacks across the French capital. 118 audience members at an Eagles Of Death Metal gig tragically lost their lives after armed gunmen raided the venue - the band made their first statement following the event yesterday. In addition, Josh Homme’s charity The Sweet Stuff Foundation is donating all its funds until December 31st 2015 to the families of the Paris attacks’ victims. You can donate here.

Numerous gigs in Paris have been cancelled since the events - more on that here.
