Someone desperately wanted to make a negative headline...
So what? I don't know the artist, her fans probably where there to hear that song, terrorists don't deserve to keep influencing the future happiness of people with their actions...
- Yeah, there's no controversy or anything even oniony here.
  It's her most famous song. It would be way more surprising if she didn't sing it.
- its like they think that all of the people directly traumatized by the incident were there on the dance floor lmao
- The song is awesome if you like a bit of europop from 2001:

- I don't think it was meant to paint anyone in a negative light. The article is written very neutrally and quotes the artist addressing the irony.
  
  Yeah I did not receive it in a negative way for the artist but in a way that highlights the absurdity of the situation.
Banging song tbh, gotta give it a pass based on that alone.
- Prolly her most famous song.
  
  Great boost from the movie at least. Havn't heard it in ages, and then that Saltburn movie drops and the song is fucking everywhere
- Absolutely fantastic:

But did they kill the groove? Clearly not.
- Better burn the goddamn house right down.
  
  She should’ve sung “I Need More Allowance” or even “ Banging on a Trash Can”.
Thank goodness no one has found a place that Electric Six can have a controversy about performing “Nuclear War (On the Dance Floor).”
- I think she'd have gotten away with it had it also been 70 years between the tragedy and the performance, though...
Holy hell those cheekbones.
- At that point they're chic bones
How is this clickbait getting upvoted this much?
I was more worried when I misread it as "Blood on the Dancefloor" (the band) which I thought would be a weird they are performing crunkcore to the mainstream.
- All kinds of bands perform at the Bataclan, last show I've seen there was Lorna Shore, and the previous one was Alcest.
  
  Yes, the Bataclan hosts A-list band like Metallica, and also much more confidential ones.
  
  Let's just say BOTDF wasn't as well regarded as the bands you mentioned.
So what?
Next, she'll perform at Re'im
