Edinburgh rave event left in turmoil as council refuse licence over drug concerns
A 90s rave event set to be held in Edinburgh next month has been thrown into turmoil after the council refused to grant a licence over drug concerns.
But plans have been left in doubt, with one councillor admitting she was worried about the volume of incidents in the past, adding it is "our duty to ensure public safety". Speaking at the meeting on Monday , PC Stephen reported that public safety officers said the 5,000-capacity event would be similar to the 'Ultimate 90s Rave' held at the RHC in April which was marred by drugs and criminality.
PC Stephen had previously warned the council against granting another license for Terminal V, citing concerns over drugs and disorder which had left some in medically induced comas overnight as a result of drug overdoses. The decision to deny the licence will likely mean that organisers will be forced to refund thousands of tickets.
