Petition launched to save Cork's beloved 'Pavilion'

An online petition, ‘Save the Pav’, is gathering momentum to reopen one of Cork’s best-known night entertainment venues after yesterday’s shock announcement that The Pavilion had closed its doors.

Sadly we are closed as of now. We did our very best. Thanks again

Affectionately known as ‘The Pav’, it has hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry since it opened in 1921. Four years ago, hip-hop superstar Kanye West — who recently honeymooned with Kim Kardashian in Co Limerick — played an impromptu DJ set there after performing at The Marquee.
