Inner City Electronic venue withdraws bid to stay open til 8am

A one-off application for a Leeds City Centre bar to remain open until the early morning has been withdrawn.

The Old Red Bus Station bar in Vicar Lane had applied for a temporary events notice to open until 8am on the evening of Saturday, June 1, which was due to be heard by a council licensing sub-committee today.

However, following complaints from authorities, the council has confirmed that the application was withdrawn by the applicants.

The temporary events notice had been made to coincide with the music event this Saturday. The venue has confirmed the event will still take place using the terms of its existing licence, which lasts until 4.30am.

Inner City Electronic is a 24-hour celebration of electronic music and culture, with a variety of music, talks and workshops taking place across the city across 12 venues.

The festival on Saturday features electronic acts such as Nina Kraviz, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Nightmares On Wax.
