The people behind Jam Park have confirmed their Airside site will close for good.
It's a major blow for the company and the nightlife in Dublin just one week before the return of outdoor drinking.
There had been plans for many events at the popular spot once given the all-clear.
In fact, it was set to be where the government ran a trial nightclub event later in the summer with Bodytonic involved.
That, as well as hundreds of other planned events for the rest of the year, will now not take place.
A statement from the Jam Park crew on their website read: "Unfortunately we’ve got some bad news: we are closing our site at Airside in Swords for good. We’ve tried our best to come to an agreement regarding our lease since the Covid pandemic forced us to close, but no dice. So we are now left with no choice but to close in Airside and look for somewhere else.
"When we opened in summer 2019, games, live music shows, club nights, Eatyard food vendors, markets, talks, film screenings, bingo, big screen & sound sports, fitness classes, and even a rooftop farm were all part of the Jam Park gameplan. However we only had a chance to be open for 9 months before Covid hit. It’s ironic that during the time of closure is when we began to find our feet with the place. We had developed a great sense of optimism about the future. It’s amazing how fit you can get when you’ve 15 months of pre-season training!
"All of that is now gone. To be told this news one week before we reopen is a bitter pill to swallow, maybe if we’d have been told 6-12 months ago it would have been easier to accept. But the game is the game. Now we need to find somewhere else to play.
"To everyone who had pencilled dates for live music shows, record fairs, markets, bingo & games events, exhibitions, talks etc, unfortunately consider all dates null and void at Jam Park.
"We all had big plans for here, loads of ideas hatched over last 12 months, ready to go, all in vain. Hopefully some iteration of Jam Park will pop up again somewhere else. If you know of any free spaces, get in touch !
"Until then it’s….game over."
