Just in: Melbourne is the sixth best city in the world for nightlife right now
If this news doesn't call for one helluva party, we don't know what will. It's just been announced that Melbourne has ranked sixth on Time Out's list of the world's top 20 best cities for nightlife – and while it's no shock to any of us locals who love a late-night boogie and bev, we're still pretty damn stoked to be named among some of the hottest party spots around the globe. In case you hadn't realised, we've long been a champion of nightlife – and that's why we set out to collate the world's greatest cities for going out in 2025. We quizzed thousands of people in hundreds of the world's best cities, asking them to rate both the quality and affordability of their city's nightlife scene, from clubbing and bars to pubs and nighttime entertainment. After crunching all that data, we narrowed down the selection by excluding cities with lower overall scores and only including the highest-scoring city for each country. To create the final ranking, a panel of nightlife experts, including Time Out's city editors and arts and culture writers, voted on their faves. So which city claimed the top after-dark accolade? None other than the legendary party den of Las Vegas. Yep, the glittering, neon-lit strip is officially the hottest nightlife spot in 2025. And you know what, we get it – it's fun, it's full on and whether you're at a giant rave, epic EDM set or swanky cocktail bar, you know it's gonna be a guaranteed good time. Rounding out the rest of the top five is the Spanish capital of Madrid in second, Paris in third (duh, that one's a classic), Shanghai in fourth and Berlin (another no-brainer) in fifth. That means Melbourne beat out certified party spots like Amsterdam, Bangkok, Mexico City and Cape Town. How good! Back to Melbourne. We've always known our all-hours city is Australia's undisputed nightlife capital, and now we can really rub it in (sorry, Sydney!). On any given evening, you can find a basement club catering for all kinds of subcultures, an intimate bar with a vinyl collection that will have you swooning (hello, Music Room) or a glittering drag show starring a roster of fabulous queens. And while the tried-and-true nightclubs remain a rite of passage for all partygoers – we're looking at you, Revs – there's been a noticeable shift to alternative after-hours adventures. Think chic, cosy lounges with epic sound systems à la Waxflower, Caretaker's Cottage and Angel Music Bar, or late-night festivals like Rising and Now or Never that host exhibitions, feasts and parties well into the wee hours. If we take a look at the stats, locals in Melbourne were fourth-most likely to describe their city as 'lively', and an impressive 81 per cent of Melburnians rated their city highly for nightlife. However, only 23 per cent agreed that a night out in the city is cheap, making it one of the lowest-ranked cities for affordability. Ok, so there's room for improvement – but hey, if we can fix that we're a shoe-in for the number one spot next year. Sleep? There's no time for that in Melbourne – see you out there, no matter how late it is. Here's the full list of the the world's 20 best cities for nightlife: Las Vegas, USA Madrid, Spain Paris, France Shanghai, China Berlin, Germany Melbourne, Australia Brighton, UK Mexico City, Mexico Dubai, UAE Mumbai, India Cape Town, South Africa Warsaw, Poland Bangkok, Thailand Lagos, Nigeria Cairo, Egypt Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Amsterdam, The Netherlands Medellín, Colombia Marrakesh, Morocco Athens, Greece Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Melbourne newsletter for the best of the city, straight to your inbox.

Danny Dyer spills the beans on very raunchy opening scene in new show which will make even Rivals fans blush
HIS raunchy scenes as loveable Freddie Jones in Rivals has re-established Danny Dyer as a TV hunk at 47. So fans will be thrilled he's back in the buff in series two of Sky's Mr Bigstuff — even if the actor reckons the show's title isn't, ahem, perhaps the most fitting. 9 In the comedy, which returns to Sky and Now on Thursday, Danny 's character Lee is a wayward geezer who rocks up at his straight-laced brother Glen's carpet factory, seeking a new chapter. Laughing, Danny said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally. 'I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! 'It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.' The former EastEnders hardman didn't mind stripping off because it was important for the storyline, with Lee chasing down a thug who had thrown a brick through a window. He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.' It is all quite different to Danny's more romantic scenes in Disney+ bonkbuster Rivals. And he reckons playing the two roles in tandem has finally proven his clout as an actor. Danny mused: 'No one really saw me in that rom-com light. I'm really appreciative that Rivals went, 'No, this is what you're going to do, something completely different'. 'These two jobs came to me back-to-back, two very different roles. I did Rivals first. I came straight out of Rivals, shaved my tache off, and went into Mr Bigstuff. 9 Danny Dyer's TV comedy debut in new all-star series just days away as launch date is confirmed 'I picked up the script and went, 'No, this isn't Freddie, I'm not picking up where I left off'.' In the past, Danny has firmly planted himself in his comfort zone as a Cockney hardman. He said: 'I do feel when I did that show called Heat, on Channel 5, just after I left EastEnders after nine years . . . I was playing [EastEnders character] Mick, really. I'd played him for so long, you pick up habits.' I'm sure Danny's fans won't mind if he makes nudity a habit. Tongues wagging in villa 9 9 9 9 Love Island 's most brutal love triangle in years ended in explosions in Friday's episode, when Lauren Wood was booted out in a vote. Some 24 hours later her man Harrison Solomon decided to follow, to the relief of the other woman in the love mess, Toni Laites. It should have left peace to reign the ITV2 dating villa. But we all know Love Island bosses don't quite subscribe to that old adage 'make love, not war'. Instead, they ramped up the drama with a savage kissing game. Emma received a text, which read: 'Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion. "It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition.' The boys didn't hold back in their feedback, with Dejon slating Yasmin: 'That kiss was two words . . . no good. Zero out of ten.' There's more romance on EastEnders than Love Island these days. Painted in prime colours 9 9 Fake Or Fortune is back for a 13th series and it could prove lucky for one amateur art collector, who believes he has a piece painted by Sir Winston Churchill. In tonight's opener on BBC One, Barry is hopeful the painting he bought for £140 at a Sussex fair could be a winner because hidden writing on the back notes it was painted in June 1916 by the wartime PM. If the team of experts prove it's genuine, it could be worth half a million pounds. Co-host Fiona Bruce said: 'As always, our investigations in this series have been full of twists. 'From an unloved picture hidden in a cupboard to one picked up by chance as part of a job lot at auction, the series continues to uncover hidden treasures.' Nick Viall, who found fame on The Bachelor, and his wife Natalie Joy, who is 18 years younger, will host a new dating series on Netflix called Age Of Attraction. It will see singles from 22 to 59 explore 'ageless' dating where they don't reveal their vintage. It airs later this year. Trinny casts regrets 9 Trinny Woodall has built a multi-million-pound beauty business, but says she won't forget the ruin she faced after leaving BBC hit What Not To Wear for ITV version Trinny & Susannah Undress. The show with Susannah Constantine only managed two series. It meant she had to take on work abroad and leave her young daughter Lyla. Trinny today tells Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast: 'The biggest challenge for me was when Lyla was four and I stopped working in England. 'For a lot of the year, I left London on a Sunday and came back on a Friday. 'I now think what did Lyla lose by my not changing job to stay in the UK. I could have said, 'We'll downsize'.' CBB star Angellica Bell has teamed up with Girlguiding as their newest ambassador. She will unveil new badges for girls aged 4-18 across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The badge activities including interior design, creating calm spaces and discovering courage. Martin's Nott a pain now Line Of Duty star Martin Compston has revealed how his character went from 'pain in the arse' to hero, thanks to DI Steve Arnott being thrown down stairs by a villain. After being in a wheelchair, Martin returned as a gun-toting saviour. Talking on Westlife star Nicky Byrne 's HQ podcast, he said: 'My character is a pain in the arse; the dick wears a waistcoat and that annoying accent I do. "They [the writers] said from that moment his relationship with the audience will change, they'll realise that if he was dead, what they'd lose. 'They were right. He was the hero of the show. Coming back – having been a wheelchair – with a gun felt like a moment. 'It took six years to get there.'
