In a recent Facebook post, club owner Sam Grosso said the venue’s last show will likely be a November 6 charity gig for Light of Day, which fundraises for Parkinson’s disease.

“It’s all coming to [an] end and we’re going to finish off with a blowout of a show, all for a good cause,” he wrote.

Grosso told Now Magazine that the decision is financial as “I just need money.”

The club has gone through waves of popularity over the years, most notably in the 1970s, where it made headlines for a 1977 secret Rolling Stones show, attended by then prime minister Pierre Trudeau’s wife, Margaret Trudeau. In recent years, it has fallen far down the list of Toronto’s major music venues.

Neil Warshafsky, a broker with Royal LePage, confirmed to the Post’s Peter Kuitenbrouwer Wednesday that the El Mocambo has been conditionally sold. The club was first reported to be up for sale in March 2014 for almost $4-million.
