No bamboche for July 14 at La Défense.
The concerts of Lilly Wood and the Prick, Bob Sinclar and the DJ sets of the Doppelgänger brothers, scheduled for July 13 and 14 at the Grande Arche are canceled.
Due to the uncertain weather, in view of the health situation and the Delta variant which is increasing more and more in Paris and in the Paris region, the Roof of the Grande Arche in La Défense does not want to take any risks.
The decision was made on Thursday.
The roof remains open for the flypast
“It's a clean decision, assure the organizers. We do not want visitors, spectators and staff to take any risks. And we didn't want to cancel at the last minute either. Everyone who bought a ticket has already been reimbursed. The Roof of the Grande Arche in La Défense, however, did not want to communicate on the number of sales. "The concerts are postponed until the start of the school year", continue the organizers. The new dates will be fixed according to the health situation.
On the other hand, the festivities linked to the passage of the Patrouille de France, on the morning of July 14, remain relevant. “The gauge is the same, explain the organizers. A thousand people. But, for concerts, we have to close part of the rooftop to set up the stage. Which reduces the space. People also congregate around the stage in concerts. Which increases the risks. There is no such constraint to watch planes go by. "
