Noel Gallagher cancels New York gig due to bomb threat

Noel Gallagher’s New York performance was evacuated before he took the stage due to a ‘bomb threat’.

Fans fled the Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saturday night “out of an abundance of caution” after Garbage and Metric performed.

A message on the screens during the concert reportedly read: ‘ATTENTION! At this point, we will need to evacuate the site.

“We ask you to go quietly to the nearest EXIT. Follow the instructions of the staff and the police.

“For everyone’s safety, please DO NOT rush or push. Thank you for your cooperation.’

It was later confirmed by the New York State Park Police that they were investigating the incident as a possible “terrorist threat.”

They announced on Facebook, “Out of an abundance of caution, the concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center was suspended at 9:40 p.m. and concertgoers were evacuated without incident.

“K9s completed a sweep of the room after the audience left, with negative results.”

Former Oasis frontman Noel, who was due to perform with his High Flying Birds, has not commented.

However, Garbage wrote, “Our love and concern to all fans at our show in Saratoga Springs tonight.

“We pray that you are all safe and well. This is insane.

“We have no idea what happened tonight. We were just all evacuated and we were worried about everyone!!!

“I’m sorry we don’t have any real information. We just got word there was an emergency evacuation!’

Noel, 56, is touring the US in support of his latest album, Council Skies, on a co-headlining tour with Garbage.

They will play at the Summerstage In Central Park festival in the Big Apple on Monday.

Last month, they canceled their concert at Breese Stevens Field in Wisconsin due to poor air quality caused by the Canadian wildfires.

Concert promoter FPC Live said the decision was “based on Public Health Madison and Dane County’s Air Quality Advisory.”
