Melbourne Club And Cultural Hub Colour Is Closing

Naarm/Melbourne nightclub Colour will close this year.

The Carlton institution was founded 2019 in a former 1835 church by the former owners of longstanding nightclub Lounge. 

The venue has a Funktion-One Soundsystem and a bandroom upstairs and has become a key institution in Naarm dance music.

"What a wild three-and-a-bit years it’s been. We built the club in 2019 as a means to continue to support the amazing local dance and live music community, and we are proud to have played a small role in filling that space. It’s been incredible to work with such an amazing amount of new talent, and to watch many of our peers grow into the amazing artists they are today," the venue posted on Instagram yesterday.

"Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing financial pressures in our industry, the operation of our venue has become unviable, and Colour will be closing its doors at the end of 2022. We thank all the punters, our amazing staff, our family and our friends from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support, especially during the pandemic. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

"We do have a month and a half left of some very special events and guests, so keep an eye out for that— let’s send it out in style!"
