Major Sydney Live Venue To Reopen Following Near Year-long Closure Due To COVID

One of the country’s most notable live venues will finally reopen its doors following an extended COVID-forced closure.

Iconic Newtown venue Enmore Theatre has confirmed it will reopen at the end of the month with a huge launch party featuring Ian Moss, Tim Freedman, Choirboys, Alex The Astronaut, The Preatures’ Isabella Manfredi and more.

The last time punters set foot in Enmore Theatre was when The Darkness played the venue on March 13, 2020.

Since then, it has undergone restoration works which included reinstating the side wing balconies, a full renovation of the elaborate art deco ceiling and its intricate lighting design, reinstatement of the original 24-metre art deco bomber light, the instalment of two and a half kilometres of state-of-the-art LED strip lighting and more.

“We can’t wait to welcome people back to the Enmore. While we were devasted by the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the industry, we’re pleased we could utilise the time to restore the Enmore to its original glory and take it to the next level,” Century Venues COO Sam Nardo said.

“The Enmore has hosted some of the world’s most iconic artists and created lifelong memories for artists, promoters and punters alike. I encourage everyone to come along and help us celebrate our re-opening – it’s going to be big!”

All ticketing proceeds from the relaunch party on February 22, The Sounds of Sydney Re-Opening Night Gala, will be donated to Support Act.
