Canadian band Broken Social Scene plays Manchester show one day after attack
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom — Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene has played the first show of their European tour in Manchester.
The performance comes a day after a suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in the British city killed 22 people and wounded dozens more.
The Toronto band headlined at Albert Hall on Tuesday night, which is a little more than two kilometres south of where the terrorist attack took place at the Manchester Arena.
Before the show began, the venue posted an update on its website saying it would continue its programming for the week, and management was in regular communication with police to enhance security.
