Club promoters join forces to bring Melbourne a new Saturday Night and a refurbished, luxury venue

There's a brand new night in town! Famous, Melbourne's newest Saturday club night is coming and it launches at the newly refurbished Queensbridge on September 9.

Aiming to offer the best of the best in luxurious surroundings, each week Famous will feature a hand picked line up of Melbourne's favourite DJ's, and special guests.

Famous is a brand new venture from a brand new team, Future Clubs - a collaboration of three of Melbourne's most infamous promoters: Alistair Kennedy, and Mark James and Jason Ayoubi from Future Entertainment. Future Clubs was born from the desire to translate the success and the vibe of Future Entertainment events into a weekly club environment.

To celebrate the new Queensbridge, there will be an invitation-only party for media - and the famous - from 7.30pm on September 9 before Famous opens its doors to the public at 10pm.
