The Brooklyn Mirage has officially closed for the remainder of 2025, with Avant Gardner filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The highly anticipated season was abruptly canceled due to a missed inspection, leading to the cancellation of a planned show. The company has significant liabilities, owing over $10 million to vendors, including $1.8 million to DJ Black Coffee's company, with assets under $100 million. The new CEO declared the bankruptcy as a necessary step after severe financial issues and scrutiny over safety concerns at the venue.
The Brooklyn Mirage is going dark for the rest of 2025 and possibly beyond, as Avant Gardner files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a chaotic summer.
Avant Gardner's flagship outdoor venue never opened for its 2025 season, after a missed inspection deadline led to the cancellation of an anticipated May event.
The company owes more than $10 million to various vendors and has liabilities as high as $500 million against less than $100 million in assets.
New CEO Gary Richards stated that the bankruptcy is the most viable path forward after 'catastrophic' financial fallout from the failure to open the Mirage.
