Iconic New York City venue Webster Hall announces 2019 reopening

Landmark New York City nightclub Webster Hall announced in the summer of 2017 it would close its doors after a historic 130-year run. The iconic nightlife institution shuttered in grand fashion with Skrillex, Boys Noize, and friends tearing the venue down on August 5, 2017 ahead of a planned closure that was expected to keep the space closed through sometime in 2020. Now, it appears Webster Hall is back — the venue announced its immanent return in 2019 in a social media post on January 1. Initially when AEG purchased the venue, the plan was to rebrand Webster Hall into a new sports and entertainment venue tentatively called Spectrum Hall, though its unclear what sort of entertainment programming Webster will reopen with later this year.

Webster Hall’s reopening announcement comes as a positive note after a string of notable nightlife hotspots closing their doors at the end of 2018, including Brooklyn’s beloved Output, San Francisco’s Mezzanine, and most recently Beta Nightclub in Denver.
