Promoters behind Tribal Gathering cancelled their much anticipated
Luton dance Festival this week, claiming London's recent suicide
bombings made the outdoor rave prohibitively expensive
According to a report on Radio 1's website, the event was pulled
because 'paying for extra security will make it too expensive to run'
though the same report added that Global Gathering (GG) is going
ahead as planned in two weeks time
GG promoter James Algate stressed they'd never even considered cancelling their (much bigger) two night festival and added that he was surprised Tribal Gathering faced extra security fees
"We have spoken to the local police and authorities since the London
bombs and they are more than happy with the security procedures we
already have in place so there will not be a knock on increase or
cost difference,"
"We as a company and the British public in general are not going to
be bullied into a corner by terrorists," he added, "By staging these
events and being a part of a festival this stands as a symbol that
throughout the UK our way of life will not be changed by a small
number of fanatics,"
This weekend's Glade Festival also confirmed they'll be continuing as
planned "in light of recent events of course we are
going to be extra vigilant, however the site that is being used is
one of the securest sites in the country due to its location."
