The show must go on: new home likely for Hong Kong indie music club Hidden Agenda after more than HK$500,000 raised
Fans rejoice at new hope since club is facing eviction from its current premises over commercial licensing issues
The organisers of the alternative music venue in Kwun Tong revealed on Monday night they had surpassed their financial target after the online appeal was launched last week.
But with the new cash injection, Hidden Agenda now appears likely to have a new home.
Kakei Ng, Hidden Agenda’s media spokeswoman, told the the Post on Tuesday that the successful crowdfunding appeal meant the club could pay a deposit to its new landlord, obtain the keys to the new venue and begin construction.
She would not reveal details of the new site but said the club was likely to remain in the Kwun Tong area.
In a Facebook post on Monday evening, a club spokesman said it expected to launch at a new venue before the end of the year. Its final gig at the Winful Industrial Building will be on October 14.
