The Chapel St institution's July calendar is heaving with all-night parties and live gigs.
Revs’ legendary club is split across two rooms – the stage and the cage – both of which will be getting a work-out in July. There’ll be appearances by international club heavyweights such as Jakkob and Denis Sulta and parties spotlighting Revolver mainstays like Mike Callander and Luke Hovey.
Not only is Revolver Upstairs one of Melbourne’s most active club venues, but it’s also home to a popular live music room. In July, the Revs bandroom will be moving to the sound of straight edge hardcore and vintage new wave.
As ever, Revolver is the place to be in July.
