U2´s Vienna comeback gig snubbed by Jehovah’s Witnesses


Rock superstars U2 will not have a Vienna live comeback appearance this year as a Jehovah’s Witnesses’ event is blocking the stadium on the band’s preferred days.

The Irish four-piece reportedly planned to return to Austria on 7 or 8 August to perform at Vienna’s 51,000-seat Ernst Happel Stadium. However, the religious group has already leased the venue to hold a mass christening on both those days.
