May 21, 2016 at 4:05 comment added T.E.D. Searching futher on Nina, I found her Wikipedia page, which does not mention the incident (perhaps it needs to be added), and this nearly incoherent description of the incident. So this does appear to be what you were thinking of. It mentioned that the canceled event was being held at White City, but not much more factual info in there that I trust.
