Whether you’re looking for non-stop club party nights or rock shows that’ll rattle your bones, Revs has got it this October.

The iconic Chapel St haunt has got something to tickle all senses this month. No matter the time, no matter the day, Rev’s is one of the city’s most reliable venues, offering good times around every corner. 

This month, it’s hosting its trusty Revolver Fridays, Sunday morning dance parties, some banging live music events and the official after party for the highly-anticipated Freeform Festival. With international acts and a few surprises to boot, there’s nothing else to do but give the bouncer a wink, ascend the stairs and enter a world where the beat don’t stop. 

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