The renovated Lansdowne Hotel will reopen its doors under new management later this month.

Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham, owners of Mary’s Newtown and The Unicorn in Paddington, started renovations on the venue earlier this year, hiring Matt and Dan Rule of The Music and Booze Co to handle bookings in the new-look upstairs band room.

Now one of the starring acts for the venue’s reopening month has been locked in: The Delta Riggs, who will appear at the new Lansdowne on Friday June 23.

Other artists booked for the Lansdowne’s first few weeks include punk legends Hard-Ons, The Meanies, soul revivalists Saskwatch, Joe Pug, Gold Class, The Babe Rainbow and Ainslie Wills, who headlines on Thursday July 13.

And in a special event, Red Bull Sound Select is hosting its June show at the Lansdowne, curated by I Oh You’s Johann Ponniah and starring Melbourne’s The Peep Tempel plus Sloan Peterson and Mezko.
