Ayr Pavilion was built in 1911 after plans by architect James Kennedy Hunter.[1] The auditorium had ca. 600 seats.[2]
The pavilion hosted artists such as Iron Maiden, Gary Numan, Ian Gillan, Rory Gallagher and Faith No More.[3]
In the 1990s the building was used as a night club named Hanger 13. During the early 1990s raves became the target of much police and media interest after three alleged ecstasy-related deaths occurred.[4] The club was eventually shut down, although there was a "unity campaign" to keep the venue open.[5]
