Noah Gallagher. That's the TU for ya. Someone on Reddit is saying someone threatened Noel specifically. Take it with a grain of salt? But,that would explain why the tour buses took off a few minutes before the cancellation and the merch booths and things were left open on our way out. The crowd must not have been in danger, per say, only Noel perhaps? Who knows. It was odd to be rushed out and see the SPAC peeps still standing at their booths, while big dudes with rifles were around as well. Guess my son will never forget his first show! ffs. Metric was awesome and Garbage and Shirley were cool af though. Glad we got to see them.

Probably for paying $100 for premium parking in the first place, tbh.

Disclaimer: I have no inside knowledge or additional information about what happened last night, just pure speculation.
I worked for a professional sports team when I was in college and a couple of times a season we would get bomb threats. Most of the time the source of the threats were ticket scalpers hoping to get the game postponed in order to recoup their losses through refunds. This would typically happen when the forecast called for a rain out, driving attendance down but the game ended up being played, often after a long rain delay. The timing of the one last night (right before Noel went on stage) coupled with the reports of low attendance struck me as a very similar situation. Of course, it could also just be some deranged lunatic, but don't discount a scalper trying to get the gig canceled in order to recoup some of their losses via a refund. Also, as someone who had to deal with these threats not knowing if they were real or a hoax, I whole heartedly do not condone that tactic.

Wow - either way, so sad it was cancelled. My daughter was begging to go to this show, but we couldn't logistically. So sorry for you Dadrocker that your son's first gig was cancelled like that

If that's the case it's probably from Shirley Manson's speech she gave on climate change during the Garbage set. Not really a set speech, more of just Shirley going off on people (in a good way.) Fucking pathetic to call in a bomb threat for that. People suck. Hope whoever it was enjoys a felony charge for being a baby.

Beautiful Night in the city to bad we only got 12 freaking songs comon Noel! You sounded fantastic but 12 songs isn’t enough for the $100 ticket when you play NYC once every 3 years.
