Tenían que tocar el 18 de noviembre en Lisboa pero la proximidad de una cumbre de líderes de la OTAN ha hecho que tengan que cancelar el concierto
A Summit Meeting Of NATO Heads Of State And Government is taking place in the city on November 19 and 20 and authorities are refusing to allow the gig to go ahead because of security resources being stretched by the close timing of events.
Arcade Fire offered to play the show a day earlier (November 17), but this date was determined not feasible by the organisers.
"The band are disappointed to be forced into this situation but there's nothing more we can do," explained Arcade Fire's manager Scott Rodger. "We will refund all tickets and we'll endeavour to get back to see our fans in Portugal as soon as we can."
