Coventry to get brand-new music venue The Empire
The Enemy already set to perform gig at the concert hall in Far Gosford Street later this year
Coventry will soon be the home of a brand-new music venue.
The Empire will host the best of alternative rock bands, musicians and DJs as they aim to help put city's nightlife scene back on the map.
The venue, situated in Far Gosford Street next to Lickety Lick's ice-cream parlour, will take over from Hush, the Coventry University Students' Union venue which was shut down earlier this year.
The exciting new live venue will feature regular club nights as well as internationally-recognised artists, with Coventry rock trio The Enemy set to perform there live this November.
The former 'Hush' nightclub in Far Gosford Street, Coventry. It will become a concert venue called 'Empire'.The rock band - led by
Tom Clarke - announced on Monday their new album 'It's Automatic' would be released via Warner Records this October, and the band will descend upon The Empire to perform as part of a nationwide tour on November 21.
Tickets are available now for the event, with plenty more exciting ventures set to be announced by the venue's management.
The announcement of the venue comes just weeks after fears that Coventry would find it tough to be crowned as the UK's City of Culture in 2021 due to a 'lack of music venues'.
Coventry's attempt to become UK City of Culture will go ahead after securing support from the ruling cabinet at the city council, and it has emerged that Andrew Dixon, who helped secure the title for Hull in 2017, has chosen to work as an advisor for Coventry despite approaches from other cities.
More good news for the city, though I am sure someone will find a reason to diss it.
