Club Collapse: Why Mega Nightclubs Are Closing and the Future of Nightlife
Description
Is the club era over or just evolving? In “Club Collapse,” Alex and Jamie trace the arc from Studio 54 to bottle service and today’s experience-driven mega clubs, then dig into why many are shuttering and what’s rising in their place. They cover cost inflation, $150–$200 entry fees, festival trade-offs, and the growing pull of destination party spots.
You’ll hear why restaurants with “show” vibes are siphoning demand, how private members clubs changed the lounge game, and why smaller rooms, vinyl bars, and mixed-use spaces are delivering the connection people actually want. Alex also shares a DJ’s view on what makes intimate sets work and how venues can nurture emerging talent.
