After a run of gigs in which bands were left chasing tens of thousands of dollars from ticket sales, the owners of The Bald Faced Stag have booted the current lease holders, and plan to take over management and booking themselves.
A source from the hotel told The Music that bands were owed as much as $40K.
“We have been made aware that various shows that were held at the Stag over the last ten months including The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Peep Tempel have been left chasing the pre-sale ticket money they are owed for their sell out shows at The Stag by Ulladulla Property Services.
“Along with those numerous other local artists, bands and promoters that performed at the venue in the last ten months have been left chasing performance fees and pre-sale ticket money.
Marvan Hotels wrote in a statement: “It’s of concern that Ulladulla Property Services did not meet its obligations to suppliers and particularly bands who are the lifeblood of the venue.
“The Bald Faced Stag Hotel will currently be run by its landlord who has a proven track record of managing the hotel between 2015 to 2017.
“Whilst under new management, all future suppliers obligations will be met and The Bald Faced Stag Hotel looks forward to a renewed relationship with the music industry.
“The live entertainment community can count on our support and we hope they can also support us through this difficult time.”
