| Cream in Wolstenholme Square Liverpool |
The legendary home of Cream, the Nation venue at Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool, will close its doors for the final time on Boxing day, December 26, 2015. It will make way for a new £40 million redevelopment of the area, which will feature residential homes, ten story buildings, cafes, restaurants, shops and the Subterranean Music venue, which will become the new home of Cream. First opened in 1992, the iconic venue has hosted many memorable parties and will be sadly missed by a generation of dance music fans. The Subterranean Music Venue will be built on Nation’s original site, and the new design will retain an industrial and underground ambiance, to create one big room offering better production and broadening its appeal to attract live music acts and events.
A spokesperson for Cream stated: “The designers have taken on board the importance of retaining the cultural and musical hub that Wolstenholme Square offers and our ideas and ethos for the new venue. Ourselves and the thousands of people who have passed through Nation’s doors hold a deep attachment to the venue and what it stands for and the new plans present us with an incredible opportunity to create an exciting new music venue for the city” With the closure of Nation imminent Cream will soon be announcing a series of shows coinciding with its 23rd Birthday celebrations and the old venues swan song closing party, on December 26.
