One of New York's longest standing clubs, Irving Plaza, will be renamed The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza on April 11. The 1000-person club is the latest in a series of Live Nation venues to take on the Fillmore name. The room will also take on a variety of the original Fillmore's trademark amenities. Upon entry, fans will be offered fresh apples and a greeter will inform patrons about upcoming shows. The walls will be painted a deep red hue and the refurbished chandeliers will shine light on vintage posters, pictures and newspaper articles recounting past performances. At select shows a collectible poster commemorating the evening will be made available. The refurbished club will also boast new improved sightlines in its upstairs balcony area and new flat-screen televisions. The bathroom facilities will also see an upgrade this summer and the club will install a new lighting system. Live Nation currently oversees Fillmore venues in San Francisco and Denver and has confirmed that it will open a Fillmore in Philadelphia later this year. The media mogul plans to open a series of additional Fillmore rooms, similar to the House of Blues chain it recently acquired. Lily Allen will open The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza on April 11.
