Organisers at Area said: “Gatecrasher are in talks to take over Area Sheffield relaunching as a new event space from September 2018. The event space will feature enhanced sound, enhanced lighting and a host of new weekly sessions and special events.

“The 2,000 capacity venue, which has been the home of Gatecrasher since 2016, will now be closed for the remainder of the summer while Gatecrasher make these new developments to the venue.”
