Bataclan Concert Hall Unveils New Facade Nearly a Year After Terror Attack

MARTIN BUREAU/AFP/Getty Images(PARIS) — The Bataclan concert hall in Paris — where three French nationals of Algerian descent slaughtered 90 people in the name of ISIS on Nov. 13, 2015 — has removed scaffolding and unveiled its new facade ahead of the tragedy’s one-year anniversary.

After months of renovations, the venue’s new red-letter logo has been revealed.

The attack at Bataclan was one of several coordinated attacks that day in Paris by Islamic extremists that killed 130 people.

A commemoration ceremony will be held at the concert hall on Nov. 13, attended by the victims’ families, the mayor’s office said.

The Bataclan will reopen three days later on Nov. 16 with a performance by British singer Pete Doherty.
