When Cherry Bar announced it was shutting up shop in ACDC Lane Melbourne was collectively shaken. The famous rock ‘n’ roll venue (some would say the best) will cease trading in the colourful CBD lane on Saturday, March 30. And while management has assured the public that they will reopen in another location (still to be revealed) there’s no denying that punters will miss getting loose in ACDC location.
In true Cherry Bar style, they’re not closing the doors until they’ve had one last hurrah – and it’s going to be a big one. The bar is hosting a massive 12-hour street party on March 30 for 850 hard-rocking guests. First and foremost, Cherry has always been about the music and so they’ve lined up some banging local bands (think Batz, Drunk Mums, Fluff and Child) as well as guest DJs.
The farewell gig is too big to be contained to just Cherry, with the party spilling out onto the street and into Jack and Bones Bar.
Keen to be there for one final headbang? There are two types of tickets available. For $25 you’ll get general entry to the party from noon until midnight.
Hardcore Cherry Bar fans will probably want to shell out for the $94 ticket which includes general entry, a limited edition T-shirt (delivered to you) and access to the party until 5am – because as everyone knows the craziest antics always happen after midnight.
Tickets for Cherry Bar’s laneway farewell party are on sale now.
