New York venue Brooklyn Storehouse to close later this year

New York event space Brooklyn Storehouse has announced that it will close permanently later this year, citing changes to the venue space.

In an announcement made via Instagram on Friday (May 19), the venue said its tenancy was "always time-limited", and that Brooklyn Storehouse was conceived as a "meanwhile project".

The venue, which sits inside the 300-acre Brooklyn Navy Yard complex on Assembly Road, will shut in autumn after a Halloween weekend closing event.

"Our tenancy was always time-limited, and BNYDC has now confirmed its plans for the site, which will see it repurposed for climate infrastructure and clean energy production in line with the Yard’s mission," the team behind the venue revealed in a statement.

They called the venue a "temporary activation" which opened in June 2024 inside the complex, and will now go through "a period of transition".

"This is part of the nature of working with adaptive, found spaces, where tenancies are often inherently temporary," they said. "We’re proud of what we built there."

They thanked Brooklyn Navy Yard for "the opportunity" to temporarily host events in the space, and returning fans of the venue who "made Brooklyn Storehouse what it was".

In the two years Brooklyn Storehouse has been open, the venue has hosted the likes of PinkPantheress, Prospa and Honey Dijon, with shows scheduled over the coming months featuring Four Tet, Earl Sweatshirt and more.

The 5,000-capacity space opened as the first US venue operated by Broadwick Live and TCE Presents, originally described as a "cultural and arts space".
