Noel Gallagher’s Saturday night show with his High Flying Birds was evacuated due to a bomb threat, Albany’s Times Union reports. The July 8 stop at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, New York, was cleared out after opening sets from Metric and Garbage; Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds were unable to take the stage.

Jon Campbell, a reporter for WNYC who was attending the show, tweeted that a venue staff member had announced from the stage, “Due to circumstances beyond our control, the show will not continue,” but noted in another tweet that safety concerns weren’t mentioned.

Garbage also tweeted that the group had “no idea what happened,” and that the band members were also evacuated.

According to a statement from New York State Park Police, a sweep of the venue yielded no discoveries. Police are investigating the incident to see if a felony terroristic threat was made.

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center had a Kidz Bop Live show slated for Sunday, and it went on without incident after an inclement weather delay.
