mike Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) We have some news that will no doubt surprise and even shock some of you- after 12 years we?ve decided its time for a change, time to seize new opportunities, and set our sights on new ventures and challenges. Both Fu Bar & Zen will celebrate their final week ending October 23rd. The team behind Fu and Zen will instead be focusing on FuZen Entertainment on a full time basis ? a new direction which sees us moving away from a fixed home and instead concentrate on providing New Zealand with a range of quality club nights, concerts, shows and outdoor events at various sized venues. In our 13th year its time to spread our wings and leave the nest. We have enjoyed these years immensely, seeing so many enthusiastic and incredible people coming through our doors and witnessing so many nights of incredible performances by the finest DJs and Producers the world has to offer. We have seen new musical forms born in this time and seen many transform. It?s been an ever-changing landscape of musical expression. We thank you all for being part of the Fu family in this first part of our journey. But this is not an end it?s a transformation. FuZen will continue to bring you the finest nights, the finest music, the finest selections of music from here and across the globe, the only change is we will not be fixed in one geographical location. Thank you all for being part of the Fu story. We look forward to seeing you all in the future at our various parties, concerts and events. Now we hope to see you all out at Fu Bar and Zen in its final two months so we can send both clubs off in proper style, and then see you on New Years Eve in the Bay Of Islands for Northern Bass? www.northernbass.co.nz Edited August 11, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subverse Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah i am monumentally gutted at this anouncement, I never imagined that fu would close! I opened up facebook last night and my feed was this giant outpouring of grief at the news from most people I know - crazy that a club can affect so many people so strongly!

Grind Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Auckland club life is in an even more dire state of affairs now... Fu/Zen, like it or not will leave a massive void and one that no existing club can or would be willing to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
