If you’re ever bored, lonely or feeling down, it’s a simple comfort to know The Toff’s always waiting with cold drinks and open doors.

Each day of the week – except for Sunday, because everyone deserves at least one day off! – The Toff has something on. From live music to social nights, the CBD hidey-hole is the ideal spot to unwind and soak in Melbourne’s unbeatable nightlife culture.

Throughout August, the venue has plenty of weekly events, where you can bring your friends or find a new community. With two key gigs in for good measure, there’s never been a better time to head on in.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around Melbourne here.

Sunnyfun Collective

Sunnyfun Collective brings their sunny Latin house, progressive house and tech house vibes back to The Toff for a cracking start to the month.

 After taking some time away from the stage, they’re returning better than ever with a carefully selected lineup of DJ and party people bringing good vibes only for your Saturday night. It’ll be the best way to kick off August with solid grooves and that signature Toff energy on the dancefloor.

From stripped-back acoustic moments to full-blown energy, this is your chance to catch the next wave of Melbourne talent before everyone else does.

Seeing Double and O’Jay come together for a one-night stand that’s their first event outside the usual Friday home in four years. The night moves through house, disco, hypnotic groove and hard house as two different corners of the dancefloor meet in the middle. From early drinks right through to the stranger hours, The Junction runs 7pm till 5am.

Soulful UK rising star Nectar Woode lands in Melbourne for two nights only with special guest Tusekah for a night of neo-soul, folk, jazz and gospel-infused songwriting. Her magnetic blend of vulnerability and groove, backed by millions of streams and fans like Elton John, makes this an intimate highlight not to miss. She’s already sold out the first night, so don’t hesitate to grab tickets to the second one if you’re keen – they’re moving quickly, and for good reason.
