This hurts :((

This is… absolutely sad. Damn…

For fucks sake.

it’s probably an operational issue (building teardown, expired fixed rent contract), something like that?

those aren’t VK-exclusive venues, they’ll probably come back in some form too.

Lease contract expired on the building. Yes it might get reused but for who knows what depends on what the new owners will do but Its highly unlikely it will be open to vkei bands or it could turn into a different building.

Oh no :frowning:

Holy shit. Not cool.

Damn, kind of an iconic venue. Curious to see if they’ll restart somewhere else…

Can we convince a couple retired bandmen to open a new venue instead of another bar??
