Brixton O2 Academy has its licence suspended following last week's fatal crush incident.
The Brixton 02 Academy's licence has been suspended as it emerged concerns were raised about the strength of the front doors nearly three years before a fatal crush at a concert last week.
During the council meeting, the Metropolitan Police said there had been a similar crush on 4 February 2020 when concerns were raised about the strength of the front doors during a concert by Naira Marley, another Afrobeats singer.The police force wanted Lambeth Council's licensing sub-committee to suspend the licence throughout the its investigation. The owners instead had offered to remain closed for 28 days.
"It is not right, I suggest, to leave a decision as serious as this one in the hands of the licencee," said Gerald Gourier. Stephen Walsh KC, representing the Academy Music Group, told councillors: "It is clearly far too early, as the police have accepted, to draw any conclusions about the causes of the tragedy, let alone to point the finger of blame at any party or parties."
