Live music venues shutting down in Sydney is nothing new thanks to the lockout laws, but new venues opening is rare and even rarer is a fallen venue reemerging.

But as The Music reports, iconic Sydney spot Selina’s, which has previously hosted legendary names like Nirvana and INXS, is set to reopen its doors next month.

As The Daily Telegraph reported when the venue closed early last year, more than a million eager punters went through the doors of Selina’s per month for more than 40 years.

The venue shut down last year temporarily for full refurbishment but now Selina’s will make a comeback at the Coogee Bay Hotel and yes, it will be hosting live music.

Expect names like Foot Court and The Ruminaters to be gracing the stage and plenty of sweaty punters breathing life back into one of Sydney’s most cherished live music spots.
