The Revolver Winter Series may be nearly wrapping up for the year, but the heaters keep on coming through the month of August.
On the calendar this month, you’ll find parties happening from sunset to sunrise. Stay up all night watching live acts like soul-pop wonder MEGA or deathcore fiends Hate Complex, then keep the party going the next morning with Belgian DJ Maxi Meraki or Melbourne’s own hometown hero Cooper Smith.
After hosting their first family-friendly rave last month, it’s clear Revolver just keeps on getting more and more creative when it comes to the talent they book and the people they welcome through their doors. And we can’t wait to see what they do next!
