Disclosure gig cancelled due to overcrowding

Disclosure’s performance at a dance event in London over the weekend (24-25.08.24) was halted after just five minutes due to overcrowding.

The duo took to the stage to perform as part of the Boiler Room’s World Tour event at Lee Valley Showground in Waltham Cross on Sunday (25.08.24) but the gig was axed just minutes after they started their set as crowd surges in the tent led to safety fears.

A source told MixMag: “[People started] queuing to enter the tent half an hour before Disclosure’s set … [After five minutes security] closed off the tent and barricaded the entrance, moving people back”.

The band explained the cancellation in a message posted on Instagram, writing: “It’s out of our control but the festival has deemed it unsafe for us to play due to crowd surges. We worked really hard on the set for months, flew from Los Angeles just to do it and are honestly heartbroken we can’t play.

“We won’t be coming back on, but hope to see you soon again London.”

Boiler Room added in a statement: “Our secret guests, Disclosure, pulled a massive crowd in London … We unfortunately had to halt their set due to such high demand – not their fault … [It] became clear five minutes into their set that a big proportion of festivalgoers wanted to get into the tent to see them, so as a safety precaution, the set was halted.”

After being unable to play at the event, the duo went on to perform a pop-up gig at the Kindred record store in North London instead and the fun set helped them end their weekend on a high.

In a post on Instagram, they thanked fans for coming to see them, writing: “Big up everyone that came down … That room was so sweaty by the end but we managed to flip the whole weekend on its head with your energy. Big love.”
