Police shut down an unlicensed music event at a disused warehouse at City Business Park in Lawrence Hill, Bristol after receiving multiple reports of very loud music at midnight on Sunday. The event was attended by an estimated 1,000 or more people.

Avon and Somerset Police found the building's entrance secured and barricaded to prevent police access. Uniformed officers were stationed outside to prevent further entry. People attempting to access the building reportedly climbed fences from surrounding properties. Specialist officers forced entry into the premises by 10:30 GMT, clearing the building and seizing a vehicle and sound equipment.

Three people were arrested for causing a public nuisance. One of the three was also arrested for possession of a Class A drug. Nearby residents reported being unable to sleep through the night, with one resident living in a block of flats opposite the warehouse describing the noise as "pretty brutal" and saying the entire building was shaking.
