Music venues in UK beef up their security in view of Paris terror attacks

The terror attacks in Paris by ISIS has made music venues in the United Kingdom to beef up their security for forthcoming events. The company that manages major festivals like the Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and Latitude Festivals - and owns the 11 O2 Academy venues - have indicated that it will increase security.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 17 November 2015.

Similarly, Global concert firm Live Nation, which also owns the Shepherd's Bush Empire, the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff and Ticketmaster, have revealed that it is acting "in an abundance of caution".
It may be recalled that Eighty-nine of the 129 people killed on Friday night were shot by a gunman who opened fire at the Bataclan concert hall during a gig by The Eagles Of Death Metal.
As Live Nation has rightly said in a statement - it is the safety and security of the shows, fans and venues that will continue to be on the list of highest priority. They have implemented heightened security procedures globally.
Apart from the extra security measures at music venues across the UK, there will be armed police deployed at Wembley Stadium for the international friendly between England and France.
