Ed Malus, of Mondo Radio team, submitted an application to Sheffield Council for a temporary event notice for its studios at 7 Smithfield for an event on Friday, October 20.

The event is promoted as a club launch party starting late Friday night and ending at 6am on Saturday.

“This launch party marks an exhilarating addition to Sheffield’s clubbing scene,” promoters said beside ticket booking online. “From the team behind local station Mondo Radio, don’t miss the chance to dance to some of the best grassroots talent in the city, as Mondo. Club opens its doors this Friday.”

The lineup is listed as: alex.aubyn, Ashley Holmes, MYNA and Hames.

Permission is needed from the council to licence the sale of alcohol and provide entertainment throughout the night.

Mr Malus estimated the capacity of the event space to be 250 with a “sensible amount of headroom”.

But the health protection service objected saying it needed more information before it could go ahead as planned which forced a licensing hearing.

The service said it objected because as of the final day of commenting on the application, it did not yet have the plans, electrical condition report or asbestos management plan for the part of the building they wanted to use.

Officers also wanted to visit with a fire officer to check the building.

Councillors on the licensing sub-committee will discuss the application and decide if the event can go ahead as planned in a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, October 18.
