Avalon closing? selling? just not having anymore shows? | Vitalic moved to Hiro

THE LIARS @ WARSAW - 2 DAYS BEFORE AVALON | JUNE 24, 2006 (CRED)
The Liars @ Warsaw

According to Ticketmaster, the only scheduled concert remaining at Clear Channel's new "top rock club" is the Living End show tomorrow night (July 8, 2006). The "Avalon shows" MySpace page says the same thing. The October Vitalic show is now at Hiro Ballroom, and Miss Kittin had a September 16th date at Avalon, but her tour was cancelled.

Rumors have started that the club is for sale and/or closing. Avalon's website just says "new website coming soon."

Clear Channel started doing shows at Avalon at the beginning of 2006. In that short amount of time: CSS/Diplo was cancelled for ticket sales, Teddy Thompson & Glenn Kotche were raided, and the club was shut down causing the cancellation of an Orb show (and maybe others).

The above picture is from the The Liars show @ Warsaw in Brooklyn on June 24th because I couldn't really find a picture of the show they played at Avalon on June 26th.

Goos riddance to Avalon if that's the case. Attending a show there was like being lockup, what with the metal walkways filled walkie talkie brandishing guards etc..

No less an authority than Concert Joe told me a couple of weeks ago that Live Nation, or 'Love Damnation' as he put it, is taking over the Gramercy Theater on 23rd to do music shows.
