• London Nightclub Fabric Will Close Indefinitely Following Deaths

    Clubbing in London has struggled lately and the latest news regarding one of its dance music stalwarts, Fabric, is not encouraging. The club will close its doors indefinitely as the local authorities review its permit following the deaths of two individuals who were at the club.

  • London Club Fabric Saved From Closure; Owners Appealing Terms

    Legendary London club, Fabric has been saved from closure after its license was put up for a snap renewal review in front of the local Islington Council. This was done at the request of local police who were becoming increasingly concerned at a recent spate of drug-related deaths and hospitalizations stemming from clubbers at the venue. Four people have died in the past three years. The council voted to renew the license, but only if the club agreed to several very stringent terms that include drug sniffing dogs and ID scans.

  • London Club Fabric Faces License Review, Possible Closure

    Legendary London club Fabric is entering one its most trying times. According to "The Evening Standard," the club is up for a license review that is normally just a formality, but this year is different. Police have called upon the Islington Council to review the club's license after a recent spate of drug-related deaths and hospitalizations stemming from the club. If the council decides to revoke the club's license, the 15-year-old club will most likely be forced to shutter its doors. The option of stripping Fabric of its license is being "strongly considered," according to the police. In the report, Police Commissioner Steve Harrington described their objections to having the club stay open. "It attracts clientele from all over Europe and it would seem that the immaturity or lifestyle of these patrons leads to them becoming actively involved in the taking of illegal drugs and this could account for the disproportionate and wholly unacceptable number of deaths and near-death incidents at the venue." The last incident cited by police reportedly saw an 18-year-old woman collapse and die in a hospital after MDMA at the club.
