Yeah, that makes sense. Perhaps the other way around then? Rio on Saturday and some place (Pustervik for example) as welcome event.
Regarding Saturday on Rio they have a pop club there every Saturday from 23-5. Just so we are aware of that.

I agree it'd be nicer to offer food. On the other hand, food costs 120
SEK / person, three times the price of a voucher for drinks. Happy to
see if we can afford that, but seems unlikely.

I'm not sold on a welcome event at Rio Rio on Thursday. A lot of
people arrive in Sweden on Thursday, some close to the end of the day.
In my experience, the welcome events are usually quieter and not so
well attended. I'd rather have that on Saturday, especially
considering we're putting money into it (even if we don't offer
anything, we still need to pay ~360 USD for the rent).
