Horizon Sans Frontières (HSF) is seeking explanations after the sound was cut during Youssou Ndour’s concert at the Accor Arena in Paris, during the Grand Bal held on Saturday 17 October 2026. The organisation said it regretted that the sound system was cut before the show ended and called on those responsible to clarify the circumstances, according to a statement reported by lactuacho.
Demonstrations in Paris had delayed access to the venue and disrupted the programme. Accor Arena officials were then enforcing safety instructions and the time curfew, Senego reports.
