Let’s face it, Sydney is so notorious for its lockout laws which has seen so many celebrated venues closed that it almost seems pointless to open a new club, but that’s exactly what has happened in this glorious city.
Afters is a new weekly club event operating from Darlinghurst’s Club 77 on Sunday mornings. Running (almost) nonstop from Saturday night to Sunday at noon, it gives punters a brand new destination to head to if your Saturday night was nowhere near hectic enough.
Having been around for a few weeks now, Afters is already pulling in decent numbers, and is undoubtedly on track to become a new home for some of New South Wales’ night owls.
The club is set to really kick things of on Saturday, December 9th with a 15 hour party headlined by the likes of East End Dubs, Jake Hough, Marley Sherman, and a raft of others. As Music Feeds notes, the club won’t be able to serve alcohol during the state-imposed curfew hours of 3m-5am, but they plan to keep the atmosphere pumping until 5am rolls back around.
“The reason we started an after hours party is because we actually don’t think Sydney nightlife is shitty,” organiser Brett Ayton told Music Feeds.
“There are a lot of great promoters doing a lot of great things and a market for an after hours party is the result. There is still plenty of room for improvement but Sydney nightlife is doing pretty well at the moment.”
“Afters is for people who don’t want to finish their night yet and want to continue to dance and enjoy themselves, it’s also for people that have worked during opening hours of clubs that want to grab a drink and have a boogie on the dance floor after work or for people who simply want to start their day by getting their groove on to our resident DJ’s, our very talented local DJ’s and international DJ’s!”
If you’re keen to head along to Afters’ debut night as one of Sydney’s newest must-attend nightspots, then head along to their Facebook page and scope the details. Don’t delay on grabbing a ticket though – the venue has a capacity of 180, so it’ll sell out pretty quickly.
