The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is imposing a temporary ban on raves, a decision made less than 24 hours after a 15-year-old girl died of a suspected drug overdose after attending the Electric Daisy Carnival over the weekend.

After receiving a request from Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky for a rave moratorium, Coliseum Commission President Barry A. Sanders said he was instructing Coliseum managers not to enter into any new agreements with rave producers until the commissioners can meet in a special session scheduled for July 16. Commissioners will review all criteria required for organizers using the venue.

Although Yaroslavsky proposed a temporary ban on all raves, including any that are currently scheduled, Sanders was less specific, saying he would endorse a moratorium on the Coliseum “entering into any contractual arrangements with persons or entities promoting raves.”

It was not immediately clear whether the Love Festival, marketed as “America’s longest-running dance music festival,” would continue to go on as planned. It is scheduled for Aug. 21 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, which is next to the Coliseum.

The Love Festival is being produced by Go Ventures, which co-produced a New Year’s Eve rave at the Sports Arena in which 18 people were transported to emergency rooms after taking Ecstasy.

No raves are scheduled between now and the commission's meeting date. A rave is a dance party with electronic music.

The Coliseum and Sports Arena are on state land and are run under the authority of a joint commission of the city and county of Los Angeles and the state.
