FESTIVAL NEWS: Bloc (festival organiser) goes into administration

London Art Scene from The Art Stop


After London's Bloc Festival was shut down during the early hours of Saturday morning by police, organisers had launced an investigation to find out went wrong at the event. It's thought the site was "unfit" to host guests thanks to overcrowding and the weather.

On Tuesday night, organisers asked ticket buyers to give their opinions on the Friday night at the festival - requesting that they send comments to [email protected].

But today, they released the following statement, declaring they had gone into administration:

"It is with great sadness that we announce Baselogic Productions (who you all know as Bloc) has been placed into administration following the events of Friday evening. The team are working hard with the administrators to investigate the issues that led to the closure of the event and people will be updated as and when we have new information. We ask that you allow the administrators time to conduct a thorough investigation so we can establish the facts.

"Once again we would like to apologise for all of the frustration and disappointment this situation has caused and thank everyone who has supported the team over the years, your continued support means so much to us."
