“We could not do two stadiums in France (…) because of the SNCF works on Saturday”. This is a short sentence from Angelo Gopee, the general manager of Live Nation France, which has had a very big impact on the Web since Tuesday February 7, 2023. While Beyoncé’s big return to France, stage of her world tour Renaissance, was to be a party, a nasty controversy is added to the happiness of the fans.
No second Stade de France, due to the blocked RER B
Already disappointed – for many – not to have been able to have places for the two French dates of Queen Bey (she will be in Paris on May 26 at the Stade de France and June 11 at the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille), they are many have targeted Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Île-de-France region (and former LR presidential candidate in 2022) on social networks.
They held him responsible for the fact that Beyoncé will only have one date in Paris… Contacted by Public.fr, this February 8, the entourage of Valérie Pécresse quickly reacted to this bad buzz. According to our information, “the work schedule on the northern axis and which concerns the RER B has been known for more than two years, this schedule is also known by all the actors of the event“.
In fact, specifies the leader of the council, via this spokesperson: “The producer’s discarding of Beyoncé is unacceptable, he only has to blame himself and assume”. And for good reason, as we had already reported in our columns, the singer’s tour promoter has already made many mistakes during the organization of this tour. In the United States, for example, certain dates were announced before being removed from the agenda, not to mention the mistakes in the names of the stadiums which did not correspond to the correct cities…
“This work is necessary”
In Paris, there is no question of taking for Live Nation. As much as “This work is necessary to renovate line B of the RER, which is a line in great difficulty and for which we are investing a lot of resources to catch up and improve the daily lives of users.“, let the officials know. Beyoncé will only have to come back… and organize herself better!
