U2 recently had to reschedule their show scheduled at the Giants Stadium next month because of Yom Kippur. The concert scheduled at the stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for Sept. 25 has been moved to Sept. 23.
Prior to U2’s concert date change, the New York Jets rescheduled their Sept. 27 game from 4:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. because Yom Kippur begins at sundown.
According to U2’s publicists, the staging installation for the band’s tour requires up to two days disassembling and the new time for the game made it impossible.
