Rolling Stone Live Lodge
The legendary magazine in bar form.
Overview
Ah, the rock star lifestyle. Who hasn't daydreamed of snorting blow off the nude torso of a nubile groupie, smashing an electric guitar over a close friend's head, and crowdsurfing away into the sunset? If you dig these fantasies but perhaps aren't emotionally insecure enough to live them out literally, why not taste some of the music world's glamour at the Rolling Stone Pop Up Bar?
Coming to Darlinghurst for a generous three-week period, the Rolling Stone Live Lodge will create an experience of the legendary magazine in bar form. The good times will flow as the space buzzes with a carefully curated lineup of genuine talent, from the established to the up-and-coming. Open seven nights a week and offering you the chance to hear hot acts before anyone else gets to, it could just be the hottest ticket in town.
The VIP Readers' Opening Night features Boy & Bear and the Preatures, while Artists to Watch highlights rising outfits like Pluto Jonze, Glass Towers, Thelma Plum and Melody Pool (how's that for a set of names?).
