REZZ Moves Brooklyn Mirage Show to Central Park Amid Ongoing Delays
Rezz is the latest artist forced to relocate her upcoming New York show from the Brooklyn Mirage, which was scheduled to reopen earlier this month. The relocation is due to ongoing problems at the Brooklyn Mirage, which has been unable to reopen as planned earlier this month because of issues with obtaining necessary permits following a significant renovation.
Rezz has moved her upcoming performance for May 30th to SummerStage in Central Park.
Rezz announced the change on social media yesterday (May 28th), stating that her team worked hard to find an alternative venue on short notice. She assured fans that tickets purchased for the Brooklyn Mirage show will be honored at SummerStage. For those who prefer, refunds for the original Mirage tickets are also available. Rezz emphasized that this solution was the best possible outcome given the last-minute circumstances. She also stated in a later Instagram Story, that the lineup would remain the same.
Ongoing Issues With Brooklyn Mirage Reopening
The Brooklyn Mirage’s troubles began when its scheduled May 1st reopening with shows by Sara Landry was abruptly canceled just hours before starting, as building inspectors did not grant the newly renovated venue a permit to open. Consequently, all subsequent events at the Mirage have been either canceled or postponed.
This situation has also led to a leadership change at Avant Gardner, the parent company of Brooklyn Mirage. Josh Wyatt is no longer the CEO, with Gary Richards, the non-executive chairman of the board, stepping in to manage daily operations for the time being.
Brooklyn Mirage also recently announced the following show rescheduling: an Artbat performance on May 31st is now set for November, the Everyday People event on June 1st has been moved to September, and A.G. Cook’s June 6th show will now take place in August. The venue stated that all affected ticket holders would be contacted with details about their show and ticket options.
Despite these disruptions, shows by bass producer Tape B and the All Day I Dream series scheduled for June 7th and 8th still appear on Brooklyn Mirage’s online calendar, suggesting a potential opening next weekend.
