Pacha NYC Closed Down

No More Pacha NYC?

(New York City, USA) - *UPDATE* Pacha NYC is back open with Jonathan Peters Saturday July 25, Todd Terry, Friday, July 24 and Danny Tenaglia's Michael Jackson tribute is back on Saturday August 1st.

Just prior to Pacha New York's huge July 4th weekend events including performances by Erick Morillo on Friday, and Chus & Ceballos on Saturday the club was closed down. There has been no official comment by the representatives at Pacha, which is leaving much of the New York and Tri-State area clubbers speculating.

Danny Tenaglia was also scheduled to perform a Michael Jackson tribute and was informed that it was cancelled. He posted the following comment: "SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT: PACHA WILL NOT BE OPEN THIS ENTIRE WEEKEND FOR LEGAL REASONS! This is terrible news for us all. I think you all know that every once in a while this happens to various NYC venues & we're sure they will BE opened by next weekend. In the meantime, this is my Flier/MJ Tribute for my next date on Aug 1st."

Some believe that this closure was due to a recent shooting of a drug dealer named Michael Slater that occurred outside on Pacha. There was a retaliation stabbing that occurred aftward in which 30 year old Jason Black was hospitalized in critial condition, and another 18 year old male who's name was not released was fatally wounded. The investigation results by the police have determined that the stabbing was a result of a beef between Jason Black, Rapper Cam'ron and Rapper Tru Life as well as his brother.

Tickets for events are still available for purchase on the Pacha website, however you may want to call the club to ensure they have re-opened prior to purchasing. At this time we have not been made aware of the club re-opening. The phone number to the club is (212) 209-7500.
