The promoters behind the Bloc festival have entered administration, it has been confirmed.
A brief announcement on Baseloc's website confirmed that the business was being forced to shut down its operations following the calamity that took place at last weekend's festival.
Bloc Festival was forced to close on its first evening last weekend due to crowd-management problems. Baseloc has promised to investigate the issues but it appears that ticket-holders are unlikely to receive any refund on their tickets.
