CHANGE CITY :
That’s right, there are only a few weeks to go before Future Entertainment and its flagship club night Famous will be packing their bags and leaving home… Leaving Home Nightclub, that is. That’s right, after a year of holding down the Saturday night residency at Sydney’s biggest nightclub, in a run that’s seen them hosting international guests of the likes of Roger Sanchez, Junior Jack, Kid Crème, Paolo Mojo, Steve Porter, Luke Fair, Boogie Pimps, Sander Kleinenberg and Junkie XL to name just a few, Famous’s reign at the Cockle Bay venue is coming to an end. But this won’t be the end of Famous, according to Future Entertainment.
“The time has come for Famous to fly the nest. Famous will be leaving Home on Sat June 14th and taking a well earned vacation. With plans to move into a new venue in summer, this is not the end of Famous,” Future Entertainment has revealed. And they’ll be taking their residency out with a bang over the coming weeks, with Princess Superstar featuring this Saturday 31st May, local legend Hook N Sling the week after while the ‘Leaving Home Party’ on Sat 14th June promises to be a massive celebration, with more details to come shortly.
And its replacement? This week’s issue of 3D World featured an advertisement for a new night called Home Made, with the main room featuring a music policy of “dance hits, R&B and big party,” with the Icon Room pumping out “Retro Disco” alongside another “Video Room.” The opening launch party will be going down on Saturday June 21st, so we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about the latest addition to Sydney’s clubbing landscape.
Stay tuned to ITM for details on the future of the Famous brand in Sydney.

shit. not rnb. when will sydney get a sustainable superclub? subbies is dieing, arthouse was given the flick, now famous is out. is the sydney scene that bad?
Stonehouse says...
I think its going to be a good change. Its a good idea to mix and change things around a little!
shortino says...
no mate its not a 'bad sydney scene' it just constantly evloves.....unlike many
jay_25 says...
i agree good change and maybe it might open doors for cream! or even a big international promotions company to take over?
Spekman says...
eerr YUK!!! RnB us rubbish.... thats horrible lol.... still, better then letting things get stale i guess... *cough cough* subbies *cough*
Brennan_Heart says...
home is a heartless, elephant of a venue. Hopefully Future can build a new cooler venue and continue it's success!
sguerrera says...
screw it! everyone has to start listening to minimal tech. and then the world would b a better place
shaggdoggz says...
i dont think it will appeal, who will fork over the $20 that home asks for retro, dance hits when that is for free at most local joints where you dont need to travel? rnb is on the down in australia. Perhaps move subies to sat and revamp it on the bigger night?
vinh_ says...
What a great year that was.
kone says...
"this is not the end of Famous" - worst news
Mal_X_mas_03 says...
Famous was pretty average, but seriously... RnB and Retro... what a joke! Way to kill a Venue guys...
Stoosh says...
No Sven on that list!! shame..
miki84 says...
sguerrera you are on the money with that comment... when will Australian clubs move onto bigger and better things...??
mckenna says...
its prob just a filler night til someone steps up and takes it on.
ac1d3o3 says...
rnb clubs are never sustainable in one venue anyways. rnb clubs have to constantly move around inorder to keep their punters coming along. it wont be long before this new night shuts, then home is in the shitter once again.

Yes Sydney Sucks. Subies will never die but christ you need to mix it up every now and then. The choices now - Electro (GAY) and Subies (MAD!). Home has tried RnB before. We all know that didn't work.
