Finally some good news for live music lovers.

One of the city’s most loved live music venues, The Cambridge Hotel has been taken off the market and will remain a live music venue for the foreseeable future.

State Member For Newcastle Tim Crakanthorp said,

โ€œThe news that The Cambridge will remain open as a live music venue is absolutely a win, for the community and live music.

โ€œThe Cambridge is one of the last legendary live music venues in Newcastle and it was imperative to the Taskforce to have it remain.

โ€œIโ€™ve been working hard with my Labor colleagues and taskforce members to ensure that live music doesnโ€™t just survive, but thrives in Newcastle.

โ€œTo fans of The Cambridge who feared the worst, the icon of live music in Newcastle will remain for the time being.

โ€œPeople who love live music, love the Cambridge.
