Overview
The Abercrombie is back! The storied corner pub and haven of electronic music is reopening in December thanks to Solotel who will be reviving the Ultimo venue, reintroducing its packed dance floors and 24-hour license to Sydney's nightlife. Swinging open its doors once again right at the end of 2022 means the venue has to throw a huge New Year's Eve event, and it's recruited one of Sydney's biggest party crews to send off the year.
Motorik will be taking over the venue on Saturday, December 31, pulling together a stacked lineup of DJs for this eight-hour party that's set to kick on until the early hours of 2023. In a move that throws back to the glory days of The Abercrombie, heading up this program of musical tastemakers will be Germany's house and dubstep trailblazer Boys Noize. One of the stars of the late-2000s and early 2010s DJ scene, Boys Noize will be hitting the decks from 1.30am until late.
In support will be Clashe, Francis Xavier, DJ Macaroni, Mclean & Mai, the Motorik Vibe Council and FBi Radio's Reenie.
While you're at the revamped Abercrombie, you can explore the two new spaces opening as part of its reopening transformation. Head upstairs and you'll discover a sleek cocktail lounge and rooftop bar called Casa Rosa, or discover Lil Sis, a cosy wine bar and bottle shop located in the adjoining terraces next to the pub.
The first release is sold out, but final release tickets are available for $49.
