New York dance venue Brooklyn Storehouse will close this fall, a representative from the venue has confirmed to Billboard.
The 104,000-square-foot warehouse opened as a cultural space hosting dance music performances and other events in mid-2024, and over its two year existence has presented shows by a long list of acts including Justice, Fisher, Zedd, Subtronics, isoXO, Rezz and Mau P.
“Brooklyn Storehouse was conceived as a meanwhile project — a temporary activation of a site within the Brooklyn Navy Yard during a period of transition,” Brooklyn Storehouse representatives tell Billboard. “Our tenancy was always time-limited, and BNYDC [Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation] has now confirmed its plans for the site, which will see it repurposed for climate infrastructure and clean energy production in line with the Yard’s mission.
“This is part of the nature of working with adaptive, found spaces, where tenancies are often inherently temporary,” the rep continues. “We’re proud of what we built there, and our final shows — culminating in a Halloween weekend closing event. We’re grateful to BNYDC for the opportunity and to everyone who made Brooklyn Storehouse what it was.”
Brooklyn Storehouse exists within the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a 300-acre industrial waterfront complex, and was first used for shipbuilding during World War I and II. The venue was a partnership between indie promoters independent TCE Presents, the parent company of event producer Teksupport and U.K.-based live events company Broadwick Live.

TCE Presents co-founders Rob Toma and Mike Vitacco are currently embroiled in a legal battle with dueling lawsuits claiming the other is pushing him out of TCE. Within the lawsuit, Vitacco alleged Toma “spread unauthorized information about Brooklyn Storehouse, prematurely informing people in the industry that the venue is closing.”
The calendar for Brooklyn Storehouse’s final months include performances by Beltran, Max Dean b2b Luke Dean, Black Tiger Sex Machine and Four Tet, with additional shows, including the closing Halloween performances, yet to be announced.
