Australia’s Infamous Live Music Venue Closing It’s Doors In January 2018

Another one bites the dust as it’s announced infamous live music venue Ding Dong Lounge will be closing it’s doors in early 2018.

The shock announcement made by The Dwarf revealed venue owner and Cosmic Psychos drummer, Billy Walsh will close the popular Melbourne venue 13th January 2018.

The CBD venue has hosted great gigs by Queens Of The Stone Age, The White Stripes, Eagles Of Death Metal and more, being a hub for rock music lovers and world class musicians.

In a statement published on TheDwarf.com.au Billy says;

“It’s an open secret that venues in the Melbourne CBD have been struggling lately due in part to the broader proliferation of similar clubs and bars across the inner north and combination of the heartbreaking homeless issue and ongoing late night violence in the CBD the time is right to pull up stumps."

"We’ll be going out with a huge bang, so look out for our last gigs leading up to our closing party on Saturday 13th January. Until then, have a safe and happy Christmas.”

It’s sad to see the closure of yet another popular home for rock music here in Australia.
