It is with deep regret that Titus Andronicus (+@) must announce the cancellation of our appearance tomorrow (18 November) at La Mecanique Ondulatoire in Paris, FR.

It is not a decision we have arrived at flippantly but, after much soul-searching and hand-wringing, we see no other recourse.

The terrorist attacks of last week have shaken us deeply, surely placing us in the majority of musicians around the globe. Music and art should offer a safe haven from the world’s many worries and woes, wherein Artist and Audience alike can find empowerment in their vulnerability. The brutal assault on this sacred space offers no clear path forward and, without precedent to guide us, we must err on the side of caution, for the sake of our fans, our touring staff, and the venue staff, in addition to ourselves.

Refunds will be available to ticket-holders at their point of purchase.

We offer our most sincere apologies to our disappointed Parisian fans and promise to return to Paris as soon as we are able to do our duty as rockers, hopefully in more peaceful times.                  

We salute the courageous people of France now carrying on undaunted in the face of these atrocities. We abhor violence of any kind and fervently wish for a unification of our whole human family - remote as that possibility may seem, let us not lose hope for the better world to come.

Empathy Everywhere,

+@
