The free Living End concert scheduled for tomorrow night in Melbourne will still go ahead despite the blaze in AC/DC Lane. It will now be held at Duckboard Place.

“On Thursday night, a fire caused some damage to a building in AC/DC Lane. The surrounding area, including the space where the gig was going to be held, has been closed off pending police investigation,” explained Triple J Marketing Manager Claire Collins in a press statement.

“The new site complies with OH&S regulations and has been approved by the local council, so its all systems go for this special event.”

The fire began in the offices of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Foundation. It also damaged the Cherry Bar downstairs.
