Velvet Underground Reunion - 30th Anniversary - 8 Original Resident DJ's
Ground Control, 1279 Queen St West, Toronto, on, CA
BUY $15 advanced tickets: https://VelvetUndergroundReunion.eventbrite.ca

Velvet Underground 30th Anniversary Event. The nightclub span of 20 years (1995-2015), carries many memories, incredible music and dancing. Velvet Underground was more than just a nightclub, it was home. It's now been 10 years since the original Velvet Underground closed its doors. Let's dance and remember the good times we created there.

All of you, the dj's, and the staff made the place special. Velvet was really just, four walls, a roof, and some speakers. It was the people that truly brought life to the place, and kept it going for 20 years. Let's reconnect and celebrate 🖤

On Saturday October 4, 2025, we've gathered up 8 original resident DJ's from Velvet's past. DJ sets will be played from 8pm-3am.
