Leftfield... Pump up the volume! At the debut Leftfield gig, in Amsterdam, the Dutch police were close to arresting the sound-man due to the sound system reaching illegal volumes. At the next concert, in Belgium, thirty people were given refunds after complaining that the sound level was too high, leading to a newspaper headline reading Leftfield Too Loud. In June 1996, while the group was playing at Brixton Academy, the sound system caused dust and plaster to fall from the roof; subsequently, the group was banned from ever returning to the venue. The ban however was taken by the band as a ban on the sound system and not themselves, which was confirmed when Leftfield played Brixton on 20 May 2000. In November and December 2010 Leftfield did a series of dates around the UK and Ireland. Friday 3 Decembers gig saw more plaster fall from Brixton Academys ceiling.
