A U2 concert had to be evacuated in Sweden last night after a security threat.

The band were expected on stage at the Globe arena in Stockholm when the announcement was made that fans were to be evacuated.

Reports from Swedish site Expressen claimed police were searching for a specific person who was armed and threatening another member of the crowd.

The show will now take place on Tuesday instead.
