About this event
Invite Only has quietly built a loyal following in Melbourne's underground scene, and its fourth birthday is set to be one of those nights where regulars and newcomers mingle on the dancefloor. If you appreciate inclusive parties with a true community feel, this is a chance to join in celebrating what makes our nightlife unique.

A fourth year approaches
Saturday 17 October — New Guernica (upstairs)
To those who’ve walked with us since 2022 — and to those who have found us somewhere along the way — a quiet milestone is calling.
Invite Only turns four
What began as a whispered idea — a safe, inclusive space that felt like a house party without the clean-up aftermath and apologies to neighbours — has grown into something woven into Melbourne’s underground fabric. Your smiles, your energy, your presence have shaped the room every single time. You are the reason the concept lives.
For this birthday gathering, three masterminds will shape the night:
Our ever‑steady resident, Anthony Pappa.
A master of deep sonic architecture, Jamie Stevens.
And the magnetic force of Freya.
From 8pm until 3am, upstairs at the recently refreshed New Guernica, the room will open to those who feel the pull and know how good these events are.
And because it is a birthday, you are invited to dress as your imagination whispers — playful, strange, bold, or beautifully unexplainable.
If you know, you know.
If you feel it, follow it.
New Guernica’s upstairs space in Collingwood has always attracted a crowd that values good music over hype, with a relaxed, anything-goes attitude that makes everyone feel at home. On an Invite Only night, you can expect a friendly mix of regulars and adventurous newcomers, all there for connection and a proper dance rather than standing around posing. This event is ideal for anyone who wants to experience Melbourne’s underground party culture at its most genuine. Unlike bigger club nights, you’re more likely to find conversations, shared laughs and unexpected moments on the dancefloor. It’s the kind of spot where you can come solo and still feel part of something by the end of the night.
