Wondering how to get ready for Taylor Swift's Eras concert this February without losing your mind from too much excitement? Well, round up your giddiest crew of Swifties and fire up the group chat because we've just found the ultimate pre-drinks party to fulfill all your wiiiildest dreeeeeams!
Riverland Bar is throwing a series of epic T-Swift pre-show parties on February 16, 17 and 18, from 4pm to 8pm, designed to be the perfect prelude to congregate with the fandom before the gig.
Perched on the Yarra River, the bar is just a 14-minute walk away from the MCG, and will feature DJs spinning tunes from all iconic eras non-stop, Taylor Swift-inspired glitter tattoos for charity, themed cocktails and a menu of all the pop star's fave foods like Margherita pizza and chicken tenders. We can't think of anywhere we'd rather be before the big night.
The tattoos for charity support Refuge Victoria, an organisation that provides specialist crisis accommodation and support services for people escaping family violence – so you'll be looking fabulous and support an important cause. The event is also an LGBTQIA+ safe space and inclusive event, with all ages welcome – those under the age of 18 just need to be accompanied by an adult. The cocktails can also be customised as mocktails, with three inspired flavours: Reputation, Lover and Red.
If you were one of the unlucky thousands who didn't get your hands on a ticket, never fear. The Swift-obsessed shindig is welcoming all TayTay fans to the party, so at least you'll get to bask in the lead-up buzz and shake, shake, shake it off! Best of all, the events are free.
Walk-ins are welcome but you're encouraged to book a table at the website to make sure you don't miss out. See you out there, lovers.
