An industrial warehouse in the Junction used for electronic music shows and other underground events has been temporarily shut down. 500 Keele Warehouse, which was scheduled to host some shows this weekend, is the latest target of Toronto’s war on nightlife.
“We are forced to take action on the space in order to keep up with its growth. City regulations and spacing issues need to be resolved before we move forward with another event,” reads a statement from Apollo, the company that books the venue.
What this means exactly is unclear, and Joel Norton, who owns Apollo, declined to comment further. However, Apollo is confident that the venue will reopen once the building is up to code.
