Brooklyn Mirage’s planned reopening has been indefinitely postponed due to pending inspection approvals, affecting a series of upcoming shows, Billboard reports.
Originally set to return with a pair of performances by Sara Landry May 2-3, the New York venue was unable to open after failing to secure the necessary permits from building inspectors following recent renovations.
According to a public statement from the venue’s operators, Avant Gardner, the revamped Brooklyn Mirage is fully constructed and adheres to updated safety and technical specifications, but final compliance was not achieved in time for inspection deadlines.
“We want to be clear: the venue is show ready and the New Mirage has been built to exacting safety, structural, mechanical and technical specifications,” Mirage officials wrote on Instagram. “However, we were not able to meet the final inspection deadline.”
More schedule changes have followed as a result. The May 9th show featuring Loud Luxury has been postponed to August 2nd and tickets purchased through DICE will automatically transfer to the new date, with refunds available via their website.
Meanwhile, Cloonee’s May 10th day and night performances will be relocated to the Brooklyn Storehouse. Tickets originally purchased for Mirage will be valid at the new venue, with no additional action required by attendees.
The ongoing delays stem from a broader renovation project that included structural upgrades, a redesigned stage, additional dancefloors and enhancements to sound and lighting systems. The venue now includes over 3,000 LED panels, a 90-foot stage and one of the largest prefabricated timber structures of its kind, according to Avant Gardner CEO Josh Wyatt.
“I can tell you that when you walk into Brooklyn Mirage for the first time, you’re going to see a set design that will blow you away,” Wyatt told EDM.com in a recent interview. “Then when you come back two weeks or two months later, it’s going to look totally different. The type of technology that we’re designing to be able to allow us to do that is bespoke and has never been done before—I think it’s pretty mind-blowing.”
However, Brooklyn Mirage remains closed until further notice. According to a statement from Avant Gardner, the team is “working closely with city officials” and will continue to provide updates.
