Back to 2016: The Tumblr Era Party

A nostalgic 2016 throwback party packed with Tumblr-era fashion, viral hits, polaroid moments and social-media chaos.

Take it back to a simpler time, when everyone had a choker, every caption was a Drake lyric, Snapchat dog filters were peak technology, and every night somehow ended with Closer by The Chainsmokers.

Back to 2016: The Tumblr Era Party is a full night dedicated to the songs, outfits, chaos and questionable aesthetic choices that raised a generation.

Dress like it is 2016 again. Think flower crowns, chokers, denim jackets, bomber jackets, skinny jeans, festival fits, flannels, Adidas Superstars, Kylie Lip Kit energy, messy buns, round sunnies, Tumblr soft grunge and "good vibes only" everything.

Expect a massive night of 2016 throwback anthems, pop chaos, club classics, guilty pleasures and songs you definitely once used as an Instagram caption.

From Justin Bieber, Drake, Rihanna and The Chainsmokers to Calvin Harris, Major Lazer, Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, Sia, DNCE, Zara Larsson, Flo Rida, Nick Jonas, Twenty One Pilots, Sean Paul and more, this is your chance to relive the soundtrack of the era.

Charge your iPhone 6, fix your side part and put your flash on. It's time to go back.

Dress code: Your 2016 self.

This is an 18+ event.
