- The shutdown was announced on the club’s social channels this week, which stated that June 28, 2025 was the last night and offered no explanation.
- Il Post, citing Corriere della Sera, reports fewer patrons and a noise dispute with neighbors as likely factors, with costly soundproofing deemed insufficient.
- RollingStone.it first reported the closure, Corriere confirmed it via the club’s posts, and Il Fatto Quotidiano notes an “official” closure date reported as September 3.
- Opened in 1980, the venue moved in 2012 from its storied Viale Umbria address to via Gargano near Corvetto, a shift many saw as the end of its original era.
- Plastic’s identity was built on a strict door policy embodied by “Killer Salvo” and a cosmopolitan crowd that over the years included Freddie Mercury, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, and Keith Haring.
