Just weeks after the final confirmation that Saint Vitus Bar has closed for good, we are hearing that the long-running venue and bar The Kingsland has hosted its last show ever and closed for good. We heard rumors for months the venue was going dark, but we do not have an official confirmation as of yet. Several people connected to the venue and booking agents The Kingsland Presents team, and reliable figures in the music booking scene in New York City have started posting to social media that The Kingsland is over, at least in its current location. The venue survived many hardships, especial;ly during the closure over the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Kingsland Presents continues to host shows at the sister venues The Brooklyn Monarch, and The Meadows, and elsewhere in New York City. The Kingsland hosted countless internationally known Metal, Hardcore, and other types of music artists, hosting industry events and parties, while serving as a local bar to many. Ghost Cult covered many shows in the venue over the years and conducted a bunch of interviews there. We’ll continue to track this story and bring you more news as we have it.
