A licensing application for the Radiate Festival, scheduled to take place at Beckton District Park South, was adjourned shortly after the Newham Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee meeting commenced on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. The adjournment was due to unforeseen circumstances, and the meeting was expected to reconvene later the same day.
No decisions were made regarding the festival's premises licence during the initial proceedings. The application was the primary item on the agenda for the sub-committee, which was due to hear and determine the request for the new licence for the venue located at Stansfeld Road, Beckton, E6 5LT.
The meeting, chaired by Councillor Jane Barbara Lofthouse, was scheduled to resume at 11:00 a.m. to address the Radiate Festival application and any other business. Attendees included Councillors Harvinder Singh Virdee and Shaban Mohammed, alongside officers Mehrunnisa Hussain, Shane Passfield, Steve Jackson, Mandeep Mehat, Umair Malik, and Sajid Mahmood.
