Volcano Sound System Banned from Notting Hill Carnival After Serious Assault
Volcano Sound System has been banned from the Notting Hill Carnival after failing to ensure the safety of a party-goer who was seriously injured during last year's event. The Kensington and Chelsea Council revoked the venue's license following an incident in which the victim suffered deep lacerations from a bottle attack and was left unattended on the street. The council's Licensing Committee determined that Volcano did not meet licensing conditions, particularly in terms of providing identifiable security staff and taking responsibility for the safety of vulnerable individuals. The committee criticized Volcano's manager, Courtney White, for showing a lack of concern for the victim and failing to notify emergency services after the assault. The decision reflects the council's commitment to maintaining a safe environment at the carnival for all attendees. Volcano has operated at the carnival since 2008 but now faces challenges in appealing the decision until a full report is issued.
