The Hopetoun Hotel closed down and the Sydney live music scene didn't die
There has been plenty of talk over the past few weeks about the impending apocalypse of the Sydney music scene. This was originally sparked by the news that iconic live venue the Hopetoun Hotel was shutting it's doors, amidst problems caused either by failed council regulations, money issues or family squabbles depending on which media outlet you believe. In typical mainstream media opportunistic fashion the Hopetoun saga was jumped on, with several stories running about it's closure signifying the death of the local music community and even suggesting that several other local venues, including the Annandale Hotel, were destined to follow suit.
Hopetoun Hotel relocated shows update
It seems as though the last few remained shows that were scheduled to take place at the Hopetoun Hotel have now been relocated to new venues.
According to SMH the Hopetoun Hotel, which abruptly shut it's doors on Monday, has now apparently "been quietly put up for sale amid rumours of tension among the co-owners".
The article also quotes a spokesman from the City of Sydney stating that they didn't force the Hopetoun to shut down and that they were working co-operatively with the venue to "allow them to keep trading while maintaining public safety".
The Casiotone For The Painfully Alone show that was scheduled to take place at the Hopetoun Hotel on Sunday, November 8 has been moved to the CAD Factory (5 Handley St, Marrickville).
Tickets are $27.75 and on sale now via OzTix.
