Nigerian artist Asake was performing at the O2 Academy in Brixton, south London, when ticketless fans tried to get into the venue. The resulting crush left two people dead and saw the site ordered to close by Lambeth Council.
Rebecca Ikumelo and Gaby Hutchinson suffered fatal injuries, pending a hearing by a subcommittee on Monday.
Metropolitan Police had sought a longer licence suspension"to allow time to work with the venue to facilitate a safe reopening and to ensure appropriate safeguards, aimed at improving public safety, are in place". AMG has now taken the matter into its own hands, saying it"recognises the gravity" of what happened and offered"sincere condolences to the families of those who died".
The three-month closure will give time for investigations into the incident to take place, AMG said, adding it was"committed to understanding what happened" and"providing full co-operation to the police".
