Bloc
Weekend has called in the administrators after having to shutdown one day into
the festival, Jamie Playford of Parker Andrews was appointed administrator
on 11 July 2012.
On
Friday 6 July, Bloc Weekend in London, run by Baselogic Productions, was closed
down due to fears of overcrowding, the administrator is still “fact finding”
about what led to the closing of the event and couldn’t comment in detail until
after the investigation was completed.
A
statement on the event’s website read: “It is with great sadness we announce
Baselogic Productions, who you all know as Bloc, has been placed into
administration following the events of Friday. “The team are working hard with
the administrators to investigate the issues that led to the closure of the
event and people will be updated as and when we have new information.
This shows
that administration can affect any company, even those which are supported by
headline groups.
