An EPIC FAIL if ever there was. Hope they give people back the money.

Was there. Absolute joke. They deserve all the flack they're getting. How did they think they could sell 15k tickets? The combined capacity of all stages together was less than 5k I reckon. And there was absolutely NOTHING happening outside of those stages.
Thank god we left the minute they cordoned off the main stage area. Taxi straight away, into town.
There'll be loads happening around Ldn tonight.

I imagine a lot of the performers have clauses in their contracts saying they still get paid even if the event is cancelled. So I would say it's very unlikely that Bloc will continue unless they can get out of that one.
