Paris Nightclub Concrete Closing

Concrete, an electronic-centric nightclub located in a three-level barge on the Seine in Paris, will host its final hurrah on the weekend of July 19-21. Due to a dispute with the company that owns the barge, the beloved club has been forced to permanently close down. The club didn’t go down without a fight, though. Earlier this summer, a petition was launched that gained the support of Paris’ deputy mayor and the dance music community. The club made a statement on Instagram:

“Concrete is a dream we would have loved to continue building at the Port of the Rapée for a few more years, but the reasons you already know will force us to stop the adventure soon,” the statement reads. “We are not going to hide from you that we are extremely sorry, and that it is very hard for us to write you this message. But we are already looking to the future, to come back stronger, with the same values, and put our experience and know-how in an even more ambitious project and on which we will strive to erase the defects that we have been criticized until today.”

Tickets for the club’s Grand Closing party are available here.  See the post and full statement below:
