The music venue's Facebook page Wednesday gave no specific date for the official reopening, but said a lineup will include British rocker Pete Doherty on Nov. 16, Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour on Nov. 18, the American group Nada Surf on Dec. 2 and French rappers MZ on Dec. 3.

The Bataclan's management said the theater is still being rehabbed following last November's attack, but that they want to preserve its "warmth and friendliness."
