Brooklyn Mirage Fallout: Josh Wyatt Is Out as CEO of Parent Company Avant Gardner

The Brooklyn Mirage reopening delay led Josh Wyatt to be ousted as CEO of Avant Gardner. Gary Richards is taking over on an interim basis.

Those shows were both canceled by the club hours before they were set to begin, after building inspectors declined to grant the recently renovated facility a permit to open. As reported by Billboard earlier this month, sources monitoring the situation said Mirage officials were given a list of fixes that needed to be completed for the club to open following an extensive renovation at the venue complex Avant Garner, which includes the 80,000-square-foot, 6,000-capacity Williamsburg nightclub. Richards, meanwhile, is a longtime dance industry figure who founded HARD Events in Los Angeles in 2007 (the company was acquired by Live Nation in 2012).
