London's Astoria to be Replaced

One of the most famous live venues in London, The Astoria, is said to be replaced by a new venue after it is demolished early next year.

The building which is being torn down to facilitate in the constructing of a new transport system in the capital, angered music fans throughout the UK with many joining huge online petitions to keep the venue open.

The managing director of Festival Republic, Melvin Benn, (the Astoria’s owners) claimed, "We can do no more than celebrate how good it was and look forward to its replacement being born when construction begins.

"It is a sad day for music fans who are losing out to long planned and long awaited progress of London's transport system."

The Astoria is due to shut down on January 15th with the last club night being hosted by Ibiza’s Manumission.

    not only is Astoria closing but as we all know the End is and also the grill room @ cafe royal, the colony room and the ghetto... looks like the end of the west end

    Does seem like it is the end of the west end, so now the east end is the place to be ( which kinda has had the edge for while now... )
