Printworks closed mid-party yesterday due to flooding

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.

"The building was cleared in accordance with safety procedures and we are grateful to guests for their cooperation and understanding. We are investigating reports of an incident that is believed to have caused the leak.

"We expect the necessary repair work to be completed shortly and there will be no impact on forthcoming events. Ticket purchasers who were affected by Sunday’s incident will be contacted by email in due course."
