Section 8's 17th Birthday

Overview

In the bar and nightlife world, clocking up a huge 17 years of life slinging beers, tunes and good times is no mean feat. So it's only fitting that shipping container haunt Section 8 celebrates that big milestone this week with some super-sized festivities.

The beloved laneway bar is going all out and throwing a huge three-day birthday fiesta, kicking off this Friday, March 17. It's set to be a truly Melbourne affair, complete with a jam-packed program of tunes from more than 15 artists, hailing from near and far.

A diverse array of sounds comes courtesy of acts like French producer GUTS, Melbourne-based Tokyo-born star Elle Shimada, and Afrocentric DJ and radio host NayNay, along with the likes of Mothafunk, Plastiq, Pookie, Crybaby, Shelley and more. And there'll be moves aplenty, too, with dance performances from Senuri & Romaine, and Ate Cheska.

Rounding out the fun and keeping you fuelled for all that dance floor action, the bar will be pouring a stack of birthday drink specials from favourites like Beefeater, Jameson and Melbourne's own Hop Nation.

The tunes will be rolling right through the weekend and entry will be free, so drop by any time.
