It's not all about the New Year's Eve party — you can't forget about the recovery session on the first day of 2020. Luckily, Manly Wharf Hotel has it covered with two days of harbourside festivities.
On New Year's Eve, the party kicks off at 6pm, so get down early for a few cocktails, nab a spot to watch the fireworks and enjoy local talent on the decks before headliners Friendly Fires take it up a notch. The English indie-dance trio will be playing an exclusive DJ set of disco, pop, yacht rock and vintage rave jams to take you into the roaring 20s.
When New Year's Day rolls around, return to the scene of the crime for complimentary canapés and sips of Chandon and Heineken from 3–5pm. That should get you back on your feet just in time for some sun-soaked bangers when locals Set Mo take to the decks.
First release tickets for each day are $35 or $60 for a two-day pass.
