\n\tThe operators of Pacha New York have revealed the date and lineup for the club\u2019s long-awaited opening weekend. <\/p>\n
\n\tPacha New York will open over the weekend of June 20-21, with this two-night debut featuring English star Michael Bibi<\/a> on June 20 and South African legend Black Coffee<\/a> on June 21.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Pacha set is Bibi\u2019s only current U.S. date on the calendar outside of Chicago\u2019s ARC Music Festival in September. For Black Coffee, Pacha is the only U.S. date on his current summer schedule. <\/p>\n \n\tThe announcement marks a new beginning for the venue, which until recently was the beleaguered Brooklyn Mirage. In February, it was announced<\/a> that the Dubai-based FIVE Holdings entered into a long-term agreement assuming full operational management of the Brooklyn Mirage and The Great Hall complex, two of the three spaces in the Avant Gardner complex in which Brooklyn Mirage resided.<\/p>\n \n\tThis February announcement also revealed that Brooklyn Mirage would be transformed into the only U.S. location of Pacha, the clubbing institution with a historic flagship in Ibiza. The news followed months of drama surrounding the Brooklyn Mirage, which was set to open last May after an extensive remodel, but announced it would not be opening its doors the night before it was set to start, with every performance thereafter subsequently canceled as the club faced ongoing permitting issues and eventual bankruptcy.<\/p>\n \n\tPacha operators acknowledged these issues in an April 7 email blast that went out to approximately 30,000 people who had unrefunded tickets and seasons passes from canceled Brooklyn Mirage shows, with the email offering the value of the original tickets as coupons for Pacha. A source close to the club tells Billboard <\/em>that the total value of these coupons is equal to $3,107,654, with these vouchers good for food, drinks and merchandise at any Pacha New York event.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBefore we look ahead, we want to speak directly to you, the community that has always been at the heartbeat of New York\u2019s dance<\/a> culture\u201d the email reads. \u201cWe know the last chapter left many of you frustrated. Especially those who held tickets for shows at the Brooklyn Mirage that never happened and were never refunded. While Pacha New York was not involved in these circumstances, we\u2019ve made a conscious decision on making this right for you\u2026 We\u2019re offering 100% of your original ticket value as a coupon at Pacha New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \t
