The Luminaire to close

By | Published on Thursday 25 November 2010

So, feeling good this morning? Yes, well that’s nice. Here’s something to depress you. Lovely North London venue The Luminaire has announced it will shut its doors at the end of the year, saying that commercially speaking there is “no sense” in keeping the live music space open. The independent venue was popular with many London music fans.

In a post on their own blog, The Luminaire’s management team wrote: “It is with sadness that we have to announce the closure of The Luminaire and The King’s Head on 31 Dec. It’s been a labour of love for a while now, and at this point it makes no sense for us to continue. We hope to be able to do some final farewell shows, probably in late March, and we’ll let you know about those through the usual channels”.

It added: “To all those who supported this independent venue, and the great artists who played here, since we opened back on 1 Mar 2005; you have our grateful thanks. We were nothing without you”.
