AFTERBURNER - Powered by Afterpay x Fortress Melbourne

In 2315, cybernetic upgrades are everywhere. A part of life, a part of us. But one corporation, More Human Cybernetics (MHC), has turned progress into control. They sell ownership disguised as innovation, rewriting what it means to be human on their terms.

On 11.10.25, AFTERBURNER fights back with a cyberpunk party, a signal they can’t block, and a night to celebrate humanity.

What to expect:

One FREE drink wired into your access

Bass-heavy music running sonic interference all night

Sip on cocktails loaded with visual glitches and colour

Immersive experiences and tech-liberation missions throughout the night

Neon, metal, and mod-core visuals that blur body and machine

A coded rebellion buried in the noise with unregulated human expression
