From the Summer Series to single launches, Revs has it all this coming November.
Revs kept us all quite cosy and warm throughout the winter months, consistently providing nightly entertainment that we’ve become so accustomed to at Chapel street’s crown jewel.
But summer is nearing, and along with it is a new event series, a bunch of incredible acts lighting up the bandroom, and more headbanging DJ sets than you can shake a doof stick at. So if you’re in the market for a bit of southside November fun, Melbourne’s favourite club will have you covered.
Keep up with the latest music news, features, festivals, interviews and reviews here.

Prepare yourselves, Revs is getting HEAVY! Kiwi death metal band Organectomy are swinging through Oz straight from a US tour that saw the group mercilessly tear through venues across the country.

The funkiest ‘shrooms in Melbourne, Toadstool have a new single out and they want to play it for you all. Tidal Wave promises more of the funk-fused rock that has solidified Toadstool as a staple of the Melbourne music scene.
