The M&S Bank Arena has issued a statement regarding Sunday's (January 29) part-evacuation.
The Darkness were one song into their co-headlined concert with Black Cherry at the waterfront venue when audience members were evacuated. The arena has now explained this was due to an issue with a pyrotechnic used in the show.
An ACC Liverpool spokesperson told the ECHO: "On Sunday night, as The Darkness started their set at the arena, there was a minor incident with one of the pyrotechnics in the show which triggered a partial evacuation. The issue was resolved quickly and we were able to restart the show. The safety of the audience, staff and performers is always our primary concern."
