On Saturday, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds concert in New York was cancelled last minute due to a bomb threat. After Garbage and Metric’s performances, just before Noel Gallagher came on stage, the authorities evacuated the Performing Arts Centre.
During that time, when the reasons behind the sudden intervention were unclear, the band Garbage tweeted:
“We have no idea what happened tonight. We were just all evacuated and we were concerned for everyone!!! I’m sorry we have no real information. We were just told there was an emergency evacuation!!!!”
New York State Park Police shared a post on their Facebook page regarding the incident, stating it is currently under investigation:
Later, Gallagher announced what happened and told his fans that their tour would resume:
“Unfortunately, on the advice of local authorities, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds performance at Saratoga Performing Arts Centre did not go ahead on Saturday evening. The decision was taken out of an abundance of caution to prioritise the safety of fans and staff. The tour continues tonight at New York City’s Summer Stage in Central Park and we look forward to seeing fans there.”
