The Regent Theater, the long-in-the-works downtown venue being booked by Spaceland Productions, made its first show announcement today, an Oct. 16 concert featuring Danish songstress MØ (the artist born Karen Marie Ørsted who played the Troubadour earlier this month).

The Regent’s grand reopening might actually come earlier in the fall. Details on the venue’s first string of shows are expected in the next couple of weeks.

The 100-year-old venue, at 448 S. Main St., was originally acquired by Spaceland’s Mitchell Frank in early 2012 and has been undergoing extensive renovation. It will include a restaurant and a viewing area accommodating about 1,1,36 – 900 on the floor and the rest in a newly constructed balcony, making it about the size of the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.
