The D.O.D event had to be stopped because of the incident. The sold out event at the Asylum was due to end at 10pm but had to be stopped early. According to people at the event the music was stopped suddenly before they were all told they needed to leave.
DJ D.O.D, a Brit nominated, multi-platinum house music producer, has posted a statement to his Instagram story after the show ended prematurely. He said: “Liverpool I’m so sorry the show was cut short, there were multiple incidents in the crowd which lead to the police shutting down the show.
“This is the last thing I wanted but your safety means more to me than carrying on the show. Music is about coming together. Hope to see you all again soon.”
