Citing 'law and order situation', David Guetta's Bengaluru concert cancelled


Bengaluru, Jan 12 (PTI): French DJ David Guetta's concert, scheduled here for tonight, has been scrapped with the organisers citing "law and order situation" following the molestation incident during New Year's Eve as the reason.

The DJ, 49, is on a four-city tour which was expected to begin from Bangalore and then move to Mumbai, Hyderabad and New Delhi.

"Due to the present law & order situation in Bengaluru following the events that transpired around New Year's Eve, the authorities have recommended against holding the David Guetta concert scheduled today in the city.

"We at Sunburn tried our very best to make it happen but the authorities understandably are not prepared to take any chances. Hence today's concert unfortunately stands cancelled," Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, said in a statement.

The organisers said they hope to "reschedule" the concert if they get permission from the authorities and the artiste but there is no clarity at the moment.

"Other shows in Mumbai, New Delhi and Hyderabad are on as per schedule," Singh said.

    Sunburn was always a great success in Goa. It was cancelled by politicians, causing huge losses for locals who depended on it.

    Thank God in Mumbai Shivsena is quiet. Who can go against them if they had objected under any circustances. Better to avoid troubles than challenging the public fury.
