Flight Facilities, Lime Cordiale, Cut Copy and Rico Nasty Lead NYE in the Park's 2022 Lineup

If there's one way to gauge how attitudes to huge live events have changed in 2022, it's this: the year has only just ticked over its halfway point, but end-of-year festivals have already been announcing their lineups. Sydney's NYE in the Park is the latest, locking in its plans for Saturday, December 31 — so you can start getting ready to farewell yet another chaotic 12 months.

Fancy saying goodbye to 2022 while dancing in Camperdown's Victoria Park? Then this is the bill for you. Leading the charge: Flight Facilities, Lime Cordiale, Cut Copy and Rico Nasty, as well as San Cisco, Crazy P Soundsystem and Aussie Daft Punk tribute act Discovery.

As always, the roster of talent for this music-filled NYE spans everything from electronic and dance to hip hop and indie pop tunes — with Poof Doof Drag Jamboree on hosting duties once more.

Other highlights so far include Late Night Tuff Guy, Graace, Vacations, Grentperez, Becca Hatch and Tori Levett, with more still to be announced.

Also on offer, as usual: gourmet street food to keep up your sustenance, pop-up bars because all that dancing is thirsty work, and a VIP garden experience if you're keen to fork out more for a closer spot to the stage, your own private viewing garden, and access to a curated cafe and cocktail bar.

And if you need a reminder about what else is coming up — the other fests you'll need your sneakers for, that is — the list includes Listen Out, Summer Camp, Festival X and Grapevine Gathering, plus Falls Festival to also help see out the year.
