Kings Of Leon Reschedule Abandoned Pigeon Poop Gig

Kings Of Leon have rescheduled a gig in St Louis that was abandoned due to an infestation of pigeons.

The band were three songs into their set at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater last month when a pigeon pooped on bassist Jared Followill.

Kings Of Leon will now return to the venue on September 25.

Mark Campana, president of Live Nation Midwest Music, said the company was “thrilled” the band had rescheduled the show.

"Fans are getting as good, if not better, a production than what they would have gotten before," he told STL Today.

Fans with tickets to the original show will be allowed in for free, while there will also be extra tickets available, priced $10 each.

Kings Of Leon came under fire over their decision to cancel the July date, but insisted that the pigeons were a “toxic health hazard”.
