Asbury Lanes temporarily closed for renovations

Asbury Lanes

Asbury Park, NJ venue Asbury Lanes had a party on Saturday (10/3) which will be their last event until this coming spring (tentatively). The venue is now closed for renovations, which they announced in a Facebook post that also mentioned the cancellation of the Waxahatchee show that would have happened on 10/10. The venue writes:

Sadly, our show with Waxahatchee has to be cancelled…Our renovation schedule for the Lanes got moved up to October 5th, so, we don’t want anyone to have to risk life and limb to come to a construction site to see a show…Even know we know that Waxahatchee would make it a wonderful experience nonetheless…We apologize for this.If you bought tickets, you can get a refund from your point or purchase. Go to NYC and see them open for Kurt Vile…We hope you will forgive us!

After Saturday, the “approval and renovation process” will begin, said Brian Cheripka, senior vice president the development for iStar, the owner of Asbury Lanes, via email. “The renovations will be completed in phases, with the exterior improvements taking place over the next several months”

The renovations are expected to last into the spring. iStar will share their initial plans with the city in the coming weeks and those plans include keeping live music at the venue.

“We’re committed to keeping it an iconic music venue,” Cheripka said.

As the Lanes’ announcement points out, you can see Waxahatchee on their tour with Kurt Vile, which hits NYC this week on Tuesday (10/6) and Wednesday (10/7) at Webster Hall. Both shows are sold out.
