Greater Manchester Police have released details from at least two illegal raves that took place in the region yesterday.
Thousands of people attended raves in Droylsden, Carrington, and Daisy Nook in Oldham last night (Saturday 13 June) – and it has been confirmed that one man has passed away from a suspected drug overdose while there were three separate reported stabbings.
One of the stabbing incidents has resulted in life threatening injuries to an 18-year-old male.
It has also been reported by the BBC that an 18-year-old woman was raped at the rave in Carrington, which was attended by thousands of people.
A GMP spokesperson said: “In Carrington there are believed to have been around 2,000 people at the peak of the gathering. There were three separate reported stabbings, including one where an 18-year-old man was left with life threatening injuries.”

There has been a scathing response to the illegal raves online, after Snapchat and Instagram videos from revellers spread like wildfire – and they quickly condemned by thousands of disgusted social media users.

It was also a frustrating sight for Parklife founder Sacha Lord, who would have been hosting Parklife 2020 this weekend under rare sunny skies.

He wrote on Twitter: “If you are one of the morons who attended one of the illegal raves in Partington and Daisy Nook last night, you are a disgrace.
“You’ve now put yourselves, your friends, your families and loved ones at risk. I’ve seen some of the footage. You aren’t clubbers. Just selfish idiots.”

The response on Twitter has been overwhelming. Here are just a few of the tweets from the last few hours, as news of the raves spread not only across the UK, but the world.

That rave in daisy nook has really pissed me off, imagine choosing getting fucked drinking and doing drugs when you put your families/ other peoples lives at risk. So selfish
I guarantee half the people at the Daisy Nook rave tonight were the same ones complaining about the BLM protests last week and how selfish they were… ok 👀
Just finished my shift at Street Angels in Oldham. Dealing with the illegal rave at Daisy Nook liaising with the police. Mark was seen tonight who lost his partner a few weeks back. He wasn’t in a good way. We gave 33 meals and 6 sleeping bags for those who had no accommodation.
Some of these people have been cleaning for six hours – council workers say they couldn’t have one this without the help of residents. “This is the spirit of Manchester,” said one local volunteer here at Daisy Nook Park @MENnewsdeskpic.twitter.com/SBrbiiKE53
Respect to every single person who used up their Sunday afternoons cleaning up the mess left behind.
The locations of these raves are often frequented by families with small children, and the rubbish and paraphernalia that was left in their wake is completely inexcusable.
Let’s hope the repercussions of these gatherings aren’t as serious as predicted.

Everyone in England can now get FREE careers advice as part of a new Government scheme
Emily Sergeant
People all across the country now have the ability to access support from dedicated career advisers completely free of charge.
That’s because, for the first time ever, the full range of support previously offered by the National Careers Service will be available through Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) under the Government, creating a more joined-up service for people at every stage of their career.
Around 500 qualified careers advisers have joined the DWP, it has been confirmed, and they will provide expert careers information, advice, and guidance alongside the existing employment and skills support that are already available through Jobcentres.
But the key is here, the free careers support will be available to everyone – regardless of whether they claim benefits.
The services are set to be accessed either online, over the phone, or through face-to-face appointments at Jobcentres, giving people a single place to access the advice they need to take their next step.
As mentioned, these new services are part of the wider reforms the Government says it is taking to ‘give everyone the opportunity to succeed’.
These reforms include £2.5 billion of youth employment support, and £3.5 billion investment in employment support for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
Support can be accessed online via the Get Careers Information and Advice page HERE, as well as through the freephone service on 0800 072 0288.
Face-to-face appointments will then be available in Jobcentres later this month.

Beloved Manchester artist Stanley Chow slams Conservative Party for using his artwork
Daisy Jackson
Celebrated local artist Stanley Chow has lashed out at the Conservative Party.
The illustrator, who is famed for his cartoon portraits of famous faces, has discovered that the political party have been using his Andy Burnham illustration at their party conference.
Publicly addressing the usage, Stanley said he would be ‘seeking legal advice’.
He shared a photo of his Andy Burnham portrait that has been placed onto a water bottle with the slogan ‘Bottler Burnham’.
The label also says: “0% strength. Bottled under pressure from Badenoch.”
In another photo, Stanley Chow revealed that the Tory party conference has used his Andy Burnham portrait on pots of sweets, too.
This time, they say: “Andy Panders’ people pleaser pick n mix. Free sweets for everyone, it will only cost you higher taxes.”
Stanley wrote: “It seems like @conservatives have been using my artwork without my permission at their conference party…
“Regardless of whatever your political allegiances are, it’s still copyright infringement… I’ll be seeking legal advice.”
Backing him up in the comments are a number of other local artists, including Mancsy, who said: “As well as the copyright infringement, I expect more of political parties than making gags at the expense of the opposition. It’s alarming on multiple levels.”
Someone else wrote: “Imagine calling a prime minister a people pleaser like it’s an insult… when it’s their job.”
Another person said: “How does that even happen?! Layers of people signing off who go, ‘Sure, let’s not worry about copyright’ (people who’ve presumably never step foot in MCR and seen your artwork, like EVERYWHERE). Drag em, babe. Copyright and reputation, surely.”
