“However, as a result of failure to control the crowd, and the assessment of potential damages, the event could not go on and for this we apologize to the fans and all who were affected as a result.”
Meanwhile, many persons have since took to social media to share their discontent after Sunday’s incident.
According to sources a riot broke shortly after news began to circulate about the cancelation leaving one injured.
Many fans are now demanding a full refund of £42 after standing outside the venue for hours.
“The crowd is going wild, persons are fighting outside,” one eyewitness told The Tropixs on Sunday. “The police blocked the roads and are now using pepper spray” another added.
There was also reports of heavy police presence and Helicopters in Brixton.
This isn’t the first time a show for the “Badness It Name” deejay has been cancelled in the UK. Alkaline suffered several cancellations last year during his “New level Unlocked” tour.
