release party
Album drop bash
A release party celebrates the launch of a new product, typically in entertainment—an album, video game, book, or film.
Fans and industry figures gather, often at midnight for highly anticipated releases: The bookstore hosted a release party for the final Harry Potter novel.
The term applies to software launches too, though those events tend toward corporate rather than festive.
