A review is underway following recent drug-related deaths. Fabric has had its licence revoked and the club is closed indefinitely. Both tragedies were teenagers: an 18-year-old collapsed outside the club in August which followed another incident back in June where another 18-year-old fell at the Farringdon venue.

A statement released by the Metropolitan Police said:

“Officers felt the need to act due concerns about the safety of those attending the club because of the supply of Class A drugs at the venue and the recent deaths of two young men linked to the club.”

Both The Metropolitan Police Islington council have scrutinised Fabric over its link to drug use in the club over the last three years. Fabric’s licence was considered to be revoked in December 2014 due to four deaths in the previous three years. In December 2015 Fabric was under strict conditions including sniffer dogs and ID scans, but won an appeal to overturn this.

Since its closer Fabric have offered weekly statements; below is their most up to date offering their support with the enquiry and reassurance to its customers via their website:

“As many of you will be aware, last weekend we agreed with the Metropolitan Police Service and other agencies to close the club in order to investigate an incident which recently occurred at our venue.

Further to the statement issued by the MPS last Friday, we can confirm that our operation remains suspended. The club will therefore be closed again this weekend.

We will make a further statement when we have more information, but in the meantime for anyone who has purchased a ticket for the club this weekend, we have instructed Resident Advisor to refund all ticket purchases.
