  • 'Le Bataclan will reopen,' confirms venue manager image
  • The manager of Paris venue Le Bataclan has confirmed it will reopen. The 1500-capacity space, which recently hosted St Germain, was the target of violent attacks on Friday, November 13th that left more than 80 people dead, including several music industry professionals. Speaking earlier today to Billboard (via NME), Le Bataclan's co-manager Dominique Revert has issued a short statement with regards to the venue's return. "It will reopen, no question about it," he says. "Hearts will be heavy for a few months, a few years. But we will reopen. We will not surrender." No date has been set. This statement follows news that Paris's nightclubs will open as usual this weekend. "Nothing and no one will stop Paris from dancing," read a joint statement from the owners. Among these are Badaboum, Concrete, Showcase, Djoon and Rex Club.
