U2 sets new dates for Paris shows November 24, 2015 - 12:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - U2 has set new dates for the Paris shows they postponed earlier this month in the wake of terrorist attacks in the city. The group announced on Monday, November 23 that the rescheduled concerts would take place on Sunday, December 6 and Monday, December 7 at Bercy's Accorhotels Arena. The two shows, part of their "Innocence + Experience" tour, were supposed to happen last November 14 and 15. In a statement on their website, they promised they'd "put on our best for Paris" at the rescheduled dates. "So much that was taken from Paris on the tragic night of November 13th is irreplaceable," frontman Bono said. "For one night, the killers took lives, took music, took peace of mind - but they couldn't steal the spirit of that city. It's a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows." Tickets for the November gigs will be valid for the December shows. Ticket holders unable to attend can refund their tickets until November 30. The December 7 show will be filmed live for an HBO special which is airing on the network at 9 P.M. EST.
