Судя по контексту, который в гуголе это таки выступление:

Four hundred fans who had bought tickets to the concert were held for hours, the last ones only being let go at 2.30 a.m. — seven hours after the gig’s official starting time.

It is still not known what agency was behind the raid, because the raiders, some of whom were wearing ski-masks, did not identify themselves as required by law. No law-enforcement agency has taken responsibility in the days since the raid took place.

Ну да...по смыслу подходит.
