Voltage Lounge has been a pillar for the Philadelphia arts & music scene for the past 8 years. Small businesses, especially independent music venues across the country are continuing to struggle and pull through this. Some have been forced to close their doors forever. 

We've had to cancel hundreds of shows and have next to no revenue stream since March. NIVA (National Independent Venue Association) continues to fight the good fight on capitol hill for emergency funding for independent music venues. Unfortunately, now the time has come and we're in a position where we have our backs against the wall and our landlords in Arts & Crafts Holdings want us out.

Ever since the Arts & Crafts purchased our building in 2017, we felt we were never apart of their long term plans. We have reason to believe they simply don't have any idea how much Voltage means to the local music & art community. 

If Voltage was like a second home to you, please sign this petition and show Arts & Crafts Holdings the importance of independent music venues and maybe we can make enough noise together to save Voltage Lounge.
