Although Ariana Grande's management team has not yet announced whether it will postpone or cancel the rest of her Dangerous woman Tour, other touring acts are adjusting their touring plans and beefing up their security detail following the suicide bomb attack that killed 22 and injured 59 at the end of her concert Monday at Manchester Arena.

Bands have begun announcing changes to their touring schedules following the bombing attack on Ariana Grande's Manchester Arena show on Monday night.

ARIANA GRANDE CONCERT BOMBING: What we know now

Locally bred, reunited boy band Take That canceled its Liverpool concert and subsequently postponed three shows planned for Manchester Arena this weekend, "out of respect to all of the people and their families that were affected by the horrific incident last night."

In a similar gesture, Blondie canceled their Tuesday night show at London's Round Chapel, adding, "Our love to Manchester, thinking of you all."

Pittsburgh's Wild Things Park announced Tuesday that it's tripling security measures for June 10's show featuring Rick Ross and Lil Uzi Vert, including extra metal detectors and consultation with local law enforcement.  While that may not have prevented the tragedy in Manchester (where the bomb was detonated near the exits), any extra security is good.

As for Grande, her next scheduled show was to be Thursday at London's O2 Arena, but she and her team have not decided what to do yet.

We are shocked and deeply saddened by the terrible tragedy in Manchester," the management of O2 said in a statement to the Associated Press.  "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected and their families,” the arena said in a statement. “We are in contact with the promoters of Ariana Grande’s tour and will update as soon as we have further information regarding the planned dates at The O2.”
