Following a violent incident at last year's Notting Hill Carnival, where a man sustained severe injuries after being struck with a bottle, Kensington and Chelsea Council revoked the Volcano Sound System's licence. This decision, labeled "proportionate and appropriate," was influenced by concerns from the Metropolitan Police regarding public safety. The council criticized Volcano's management for failing to ensure the safety of attendees and for inadequate communication regarding the assault. Their record of operation since 2008 was noted, but ultimately deemed insufficient to warrant ongoing permission amidst significant safety neglect.
The council deemed it necessary to revoke the Volcano Sound System's licence citing a serious incident where a party-goer suffered severe injuries during last year's carnival.
The Met Police criticized Volcano management's response to the assault, emphasizing the need for proper reporting and assurance of safety protocols for all attendees.
