There's a New NYE Music Festival Coming to Sydney's Victoria Park

in partnership with

Taking over one of Sydney's central parks for the final hours of 2017, the city's newest New Year's Eve event comes from the folks behind Hot Dub Wine Machine and Alison Wonderland's Warehouse Project. A collaboration between Sydney events agency Falcona and decade-hopping DJ Hot Dub Time Machine, NYE in the Park is set to make its debut this December 31, taking over the lush expanse of Victoria Park for an evening of eating, fireworks, Champagne and dancing you'll actually want to remember.

Helmed by a posse of party experts, NYE in the Park is ticking all the right boxes. First, the lineup features a cornucopia of aural treats to launch you properly into 2018. Performing across two stages, expect a tightly curated mix of local and international names including Belgian-based dance icons 2MANYDJS, powerful pop artist Vera Blue, disco kings Total Giovanni, and a collaborative effort from Jurassic 5's Chali 2na and Brit breakbeat pioneer Krafty Kuts. Of course, Hot Tub Time Machine will be serving up one of his signature party sets, sending crowds dancing through the decades on a two-hour journey from the '60s to today.

As we draw closer to the end of the year, the lineup continues to expand. Now it includes Canadian electro-dance master Tiga. His timeless favourites 'You Gotta Want Me' and 'Sunglasses at Night' will transport you back to the early 2000s — luckily, without the braces and acne.

Taking over Victoria Park with stages and d-floors, the event will also feature a healthy assortment of bars and a solid selection of food vendors. What's more, with presale tickets starting at just $59, this is one of those rare NYE options that won't bleed your bank account dry. Because who wants to start a new year with insufficient funds?

The inaugural NYE in the Park takes place from 3pm-1am, on Sunday, December 31, at Victoria Park, Camperdown. Jump over to the website to check out the debut lineup and to register for $59 presale tickets.
