The London Astoria will be closing down in the near future. The popular London venue, which has been standing for over 80 years, is being shut due to the progress of the Crossrail scheme linking Maidenhead and Shenfield, Essex via the Central line.
The London Astoria is a landmark venue within the industry allowing many bands to bridge the gap between "toilet-tour" venues and arenas.
The Astoria has been running as a venue since 1976 and has seen bands such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Green Day, and Rage Against The Machine, as well as thousands of dedicated artists from around the world.
Over the past few years in London the Hammersmith Palais and the Marquee have seen their final customers. Campaigners have been striving to save the Astoria but it seems that another legendary music venue will see its final performance.
