Printworks closed mid-party yesterday due to flooding
The Solid Grooves party was cut short
Printworks London closed mid-party yesterday (October 14) due to flooding caused by a broken pipe.
The SolidGrooves event featured Hot Creations' wAFF, Route 94 and VIVa Warriors head honcho Steve Lawler.
People who were there claimed the pipe damage was caused by someone doing pull-ups. Printworks confirmed it was caused by a burst pipe.
Ravers at the industrial venue posted videos to Twitter, showing the water and people being ushered out.
Printworks has released an official statement: "Sunday’s Solid Grooves event at Printworks London was halted just before 9pm after an internal pipe was damaged, causing water to come into the venue.
