Boiler Room London postponed following Queen's death
Boiler Room London has been forced to postpone this weekend's event following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
This Saturday (17 September) Boiler Room London was due to host an event at Burgess Park featuring DJ EZ, Juls, Madam X, p-rallel and more, but they've been forced to postpone after Southwark Council withdrew permission for Boiler Room London to take place following the Queen's death.
"We are devastated to not be able to move forward on September 17th," a statement on Boiler Room's site reads. "Both Southwark Council and ourselves have looked at every avenue to ensure it can go ahead, however, for the reasons outlined below, Southwark Council and the Metropolitan Police will not permit them to at this time."
In the FAQ's, Boiler Room shared a response about why it's been cancelled, "Southwark Council are the landowner of Burgess Park and therefore have the ability to cancel the event for reasons of reputation and also for public safety. In addition to this, we work closely with the Safety Advisory Group which includes members of London Ambulance Service, the Metropolitan Police and Environmental Health, all of whom will no longer have the resources to support the event going ahead this weekend."
Boiler Room are working on getting a new date for the event with the same line-up, and tickets will remain valid.
