The Palace

The Palace, Historical entertainment venue in Victoria, Australia

The Palace was an entertainment complex in St Kilda, Melbourne, built in 1972 on the site of the former Palais de Danse, which burned down in 1968. It stood for thirty-five years as a live music venue before closing on 12 June 2007; the building was badly damaged by fire on 11 July 2007 and has since been completely demolished.

The Palace opened in 1972 in St Kilda on the site of the Palais de Danse, which burned down in 1968. It hosted local and international acts for thirty-five years, including Nirvana's Nevermind World Tour concerts in 1992. It closed on 12 June 2007 after a legal battle between the Victorian state government and former operator Bradto Pty. Ltd. A fire on 11 July 2007 destroyed half the former nightclub, and the building was later completely demolished.

The venue's name came from its 1972 rebuild on the site of the Palais de Danse, which burned down in 1968. Its best-known moment was Nirvana's Nevermind World Tour concerts in 1992. After closing on 12 June 2007 it was damaged by fire that 11 July and then completely demolished, so nothing of the building remains to visit.

The building no longer exists: it was completely demolished after the 11 July 2007 fire, so there is nothing left to visit on the St Kilda site. The former entrance stood off Jacka Boulevard, which was brought to a standstill by the blaze when seventy firefighters fought it from outside.

The Palace was demolished after closing on 12 June 2007, so nothing of its stonework survives. Less than a month later, on 11 July 2007, fire destroyed half the former nightclub; seventy firefighters fought the blaze, which closed Jacka Boulevard, from outside because a vandalised dancefloor made entry unsafe.
