Iconic Liverpool music venue The Zanzibar Club is closing after 35 years.
First opened in 1990, the nightspot routinely championed grassroots artists as well as providing a stage for more established acts in the 300-capacity space.
Noel Gallagher, The Libertines, The Coral and Miles Kane were among the high-profile names to take to the stage in its three-and-a-half decade spell.
But the curtain is set to come down on the performance space at the beginning of next month as it makes way for a pub.
S**t Indie Disco, who have hosted Indie Saturdays at The Zanzibar for three years, confirmed news of the closure after the weekend of November 1.
“I’m sure many of you may have heard that after many incredible years, Zanzibar will be closing down,” read a statement.
“We have ran Indie Saturdays there for three years, made some unforgettable memories & made some life long friends.
“We are truly devastated to learn of it’s closure. We want to thank all the staff who have worked & helped us over the years, you have all been amazing to work with.
“We would like to make a dedication to Brandon who has been a superstar as the GM.
“At the moment we do not know when the closing date is. However, we will be running every week until the close, including our big Halloween weekend event (1st November).”
