Just three weeks after the horrific Paris shootings in which 89 concert-goers were gunned down at the Bataclan hall during an Eagles Of Death Metal concert, the US rock group are reportedly set to return to the French capital tomorrow to perform with legendary Irish band U2.

According to Billboard, EODM will return to the stage for the first time since the attacks and will join U2 at their concert for the final song at the AccorHotels Arena.

Band co-founder Josh Homme is also expected to feature in the performance as he was not with the band when the siege took place last month.

Furthermore, following the harrowing Vice interview in which frontman Jesse Hughes vowed to return to the Bataclan, the band are reportedly set to recommence their European tour next February after it was understandably postponed after the attacks.

It is not yet known if a show at the Bataclan will be rescheduled.

"I cannot wait to get back to Paris. I cannot wait to play," Hughes said of returning to Paris.

"I want to be the first band to play in the Bataclan when it opens back up because I was there when it went silent for a minute. Our friends went there to see rock'n'roll and died. I'm going to go back there and live."
