Avant Gardner, a popular event venue in Brooklyn, has announced plans for major renovations aimed at improving security measures. This decision comes in response to past incidents and criticisms regarding safety at the venue. The management is committed to enhancing the overall experience for attendees by addressing these concerns.
Avant Gardner, the live events promoter behind Electric Zoo, may face action from the city of New York for overselling the festival and its mismanagement. The festival experienced multiple issues, including the cancellation of the first day due to an unfinished stage and reaching capacity on the final day, leaving many ticketholders stranded outside. Mayor Eric Adams stated that the city will deal with Avant Gardner based on their behavior and actions. Avant Gardner has a history of overselling their events, including the Brooklyn Mirage venue. The organizers claim that the first day was canceled due to delayed permits, while industry sources suggest it was due to unpaid vendors resulting in a shortage of professionals for the festival.
The body of 27-year-old John Castic, a Manhattan man, was found in Newton Creek near the Brooklyn Mirage music venue three days after he was last seen at a concert. This is the second incident this summer where a person has been found dead in the creek after attending an event at the venue. The New York Police Department is conducting autopsies to determine the cause of death for both individuals.
