After almost four decades in operation, long-standing Scottish nightclub Club 69 is set to close.
The Paisley venue announced its closure yesterday, revealing on Instagram that it will hold a series of final parties before it shuts for good in October.
The team behind the beloved basement nightclub, sometimes referred to as the 'rave cave', said that the project has "unfortunately come to an end", though they did not give a reason behind this decision.
"This has been a passion project for the current management team," they said. "It’s been an absolute pleasure to have played a small part in the legendary venue’s long journey, which dates back to the very first party in 1989 - but all good things must come to an end."
A string of closing parties will take place across the next seven weeks welcoming both "external promoters and some of our own", culminating on Saturday, October 10.
"Before we go - we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone we’ve worked with along the way - all the staff, the people behind the scenes, the DJs, our suppliers, and most importantly, you lot - the ravers," they said.
Club 69 also urged anyone willing to continue the work of the basement venue to contact them via a business sale enquiry form .

"Hopefully this isn’t final orders, and there’ll be one more tune in the old Paisley Basement yet," the club wrote. "In the meantime, we’ve got seven weeks of events to go."
Club 69 first opened in 1989 below a curry house in Paisley, just outside of Glasgow. The venue bolstered the early career of Jackmaster , and has also hosted the likes of Underground Resistance, Leftfield, and Juan Atkins over the decades.
