Taylor Swift Vienna concerts cancelled due to planned attack and subsequent security concerns

ai generated text

Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Vienna was cancelled after two people were arrested on suspicion of planning an attack. Austrian authorities arrested a 19-year-old man, believed to have been radicalized online, and another suspect was arrested in Vienna. Police searched the residence of one of the suspects in Ternitz, Lower Austria. The concert organizer, Barracudamusic, cancelled the three scheduled shows, citing safety concerns. The arrested individuals are suspected of planning Islamist attacks, with one of the men allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS. All tickets will be automatically refunded within 10 working days.

    1. I'm sure Vienna has got its own reasons to cancel the Taylor Swift concerts, we're going to carry on, working closely with police (and) ensuring that the Taylor Swift concerts can take place in London safely.

    1. All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.
    2. Due to confirmation by government officials of a planned terrorist attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows for everyone's safety.
