A London music festival was shut down on Friday night amid fears for the  safety of the crowd just moments before headline act Snoop Dogg was due to take to the stage.

Bloc 2012, which was also set to feature performances from Gary Numan and  Orbital, was closed after organizers took advice from police over potential  overcrowding at the venue in London’s docklands.

A statement on the festival website reads, “By now everyone will have heard  that Bloc 2012 was closed due to crowd safety concerns. We are all absolutely  devastated that this happened, but the safety of everyone on site was  paramount.

“Given the situation on the ground, we feel that it was the right  decision to end the show early. Stand by for full information on  refunds.”
