Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg is set to shut down.

      The lease will not be extended beyond 2026...

      Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg will cease operations after 2026.

      Variety confirmed this information, having acquired an internal memo from the venue indicating that they will not pursue a lease after 2026.

      Co-partners Jim Glancy and John Moore of Bowery Presents noted that this decision means Music Hall Of Williamsburg may need to relocate or close; in response to an inquiry from Pitchfork, the team affirmed that the memo is accurate.

      A significant component of the Brooklyn music scene, Music Hall Of Williamsburg has been staging live performances for more than twenty years, showcasing emerging talent and fostering the region's vibrant creative community.

      “Music Hall of Williamsburg opened during a cultural renaissance in the North Brooklyn area, and we were one of the first music venues to establish a presence there,” Glancy and Moore stated. “We launched the venue and have hosted numerous artists at the very start of their careers, including Mumford and Sons, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Ed Sheeran, Tyler, The Creator, Brandi Carlile, The xx, The Weeknd, Robyn, Disclosure, the War on Drugs, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Phoebe Bridgers, IDLES, Maggie Rogers, Fred again.., Geese, and Audrey Hobert, among others.”

      The memo reads: “While we cannot comment on the future of 66 North 6th Street, The Bowery Presents appreciates our time there, the staff who operate the venue night after night, and our shared commitment to artist development. Our dedication to discovering new and exciting spaces for artists and fans to experience the transformative power of live music will persist, as it has since we first crossed the bridge two decades ago.”

Skye Newman has released her new single ‘Lonely Girl’. The UK singer has had an outstanding year, having recently sold out the KOKO venue in London after just a few releases. Anticipated to be a major force in 2026, the South London artist wraps up her breakout year with this new track. ‘Lonely Girl’ is available now and was first previewed as an exclusive on a recent Rinse FM show, where Skye spoke with Maya Jama. Co-written by Skye Newman, Boo, and Luis Navidad, the song explores an age-gap romance while questioning why men often shy away from taking responsibility. The lyrics aim to hold individuals accountable for their actions and are rooted in personal experience—Skye Newman’s emotive vocals convey deep sincerity and conviction. She remarks… The song addresses men who exploit their power by manipulating young girls, taking advantage of their innocence and vulnerability. I feel there isn't enough awareness around the issue of older men forming relationships with school girls, especially given that the age difference can seem inconsequential since women mature earlier than men. This is not acceptable! Young people require both advocates and knowledge. It's crucial to educate them about how predatory behavior may initially appear flattering, as this is the tactic to keep them engaged, allowing these predators to exert control. THIS IS ABUSE! That’s precisely why they target young, innocent children. We need to start acknowledging this for what it truly is. Every girl I know, myself included, has been approached by much older men while still too young to comprehend the situation. I’ve seen friends become susceptible to such advances, and no girl should have to endure that. Often, it's only when you're older that you recognize just how troubling it really is. Let's ensure that young girls don’t have to wait until they are 30 and traumatized to realize this. If you or someone you know is in this situation, please help them escape. Listen now.
