The closure of Bristol club Blue Mountain to make way for development has been confirmed by the venue's owner.
Plans to turn the Stokes Croft site into flats were rejected by Bristol City Council's planning committee last October - but developer RedOak Property set about appealing the decision.
The plans for 240 student beds, office space and three shops in tower blocks next to the Full Moon pub would have seen the club demolished.
Now Blue Mountain has said that the owners of the venue want their property back for their future plans to develop the site.
A post from the club said: "It’s with heavy heart that we have to announce that we will be closing from mid September as we’ve been given notice from the owners of the venue who are now wanting their property back for their future plans to develop the site.
"We have exhausted all avenues to try to allow us to remain open.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thanks all the staff, customers, promoters, artist and all companies that’s have worked with us over the last 28 years as without you guys we wouldn’t of been here as long.
