The Palladium in Worcester, MA denies rumors of shutting down.

So I hate to contribute to any false allegations that The Palladium is shutting down, but there were some pretty reliable sources saying that it could just be the case!  However, it looks as though the outpouring of support and the petition that was started has caused ownership of the historic venue to respond via the Palladium Facebook.  Here's what was said: .

Despite false rumors of The Palladium closing we are open and have no plans close our doors. Yes Taxes are up 200% but our landlord is appealing. While the tax and rent increase will put us in a difficult position financially we will do our best to make things work while the tax appeal process plays out. We have been blown away by the groundswell of support we have received and want to thank everyone for reaching out. We will continue to bring great live music to Worcester so please check our schedule for up coming shows and events atwww.thepalladium.net and follow us on twitter twitter.com/palladiumshows

So there you have it ninjas.  I'm sure that's a huge collective sigh of relief for all of you Worcester Juggalos!  Hopefully the landlord and the city get something worked out to where they can keep the venue open indefinitely.  We'll keep you posted!
