August Gigs Cancelled After Lizotte’s Blaze

Staff Writer

NSW Central Coast blaze back in September

Lizotte's Central Coast has cancelled all shows planned for August after a blaze caused an estimated $250,000 to the venue.

The fire broke out during a performance by Abby Dobson, causing the evacuation of punters and staff.

In a statement the owners have advised that all shows booked for the month will now be cancelled or postponed.

Booked shows had included Shane Nicholson (Thursday 15), Ian Moss (Friday 16 and Saturday 17), Bruce Mathiske (Tuesday 27) and Ray Beadle (Friday 30).

The likes of Steve Clisby, Mark Wilkinson, Afro Moses and Dragon are booked for September at this stage.
