Brooklyn Mirage Forced To Cancel All Opening Weekend Shows
As hopeful as one can be, reality checked us Friday afternoon as The Brooklyn Mirage announced that the opening weekend for the 2025 season will be delayed to another weekend. As we know already, Hard Techno maven and producer Sara Landry would’ve played the first two sold-out nights of the weekend with Cityfox planning to close out the first weekend on Sunday. Yesterday, the Brooklyn Mirage was forced to cancel the Thursday night show.
Making Up For It
With tons of social media feedback and awareness, Sara Landry’s team did the impossible and booked the Knockdown Event Center for Thursday night. Although it had limited capacity, the artist offered a free RSVP for anybody quick enough to snag the link. It was not limited to ticket holders from the first show. Knockdown is known for its top-notch lineups, including its signature event, Wire Festival. Moreover, the artist also booked an afternoon appearance today at the Brooklyn Storehouse from 5-10pm. With tonight’s show also cancelled, we would not be surprised to see a longer/later show at Brooklyn Storehouse tonight. We have not yet heard from Cityfox about alternative plans.
Opening Weekend Delay
Hours before the doors opened yesterday, the Brooklyn Mirage had to cancel its opening show. It was unable to pass construction inspections necessary to obtain permits so that attendees can occupy the new structure. With high hopes, attendees have waited patiently for updates on the rest of the shows this weekend. Late in the afternoon, the venue posted the sad update that the entire weekend would have to be called off, for now.
Early Friday morning, the Brooklyn Paper was reporting that the entire weekend would be cancelled, citing a city building official. Reportedly, there were three construction permits on hold and no definitive timeline was given. Prioritizing transparency and safety for ticket holders, the venue cancelled the remaining shows, including Cityfox, and Black Coffee.
However, the venue will refund all the tickets for the weekend. Moreover, they will keep updating the general public. The venue is working closely with city officials to ensure get the permits cleared so that it can open the amazing new Brooklyn Mirage 4.0. We’re standing by for the green light and will keep you posted.
