Ring in the New Year with a dance through the decades, fireworks and a Champagne toast.

Overview
It's oft said that New Year's Eve is the most over-hyped night of the year. But, it doesn't have to be this year — Sydney, you've got a brand new NYE party to attend. From the folks behind Hot Dub Wine Machine and Alison Wonderland's Warehouse Project, NYE in the Park is set to make its bangin' debut this December 31, taking over the lush expanse of Victoria Park for an evening of (actually good) eats, fireworks, Champagne, dancing and no let-downs — it'll be a night you'll actually want to remember.
Headlining the inaugural event is Canadian electro and techo maestro, Tiga. You'll remember dancing to his tracks like 'You Gonna Want Me' and 'Far From Home' (he's also behind the monster hit 'Bugatti') back in the 2000s. Also ringing in the New Year is Jurassic 5 legend Chali 2NA, and DJ Krafty Kuts, who'll take us back to the golden era of hip hop in a joint set. Other highlights include Belgian-based dance icons 2MANYDJS, powerful pop artist Vera Blue, disco kings Total Giovanni, and, the evening's host, Hot Tub Time Machine. He'll be counting down the crowd to midnight, before playing one of his signature party sets, sending revellers dancing through the decades on a two-hour journey from the '50s to today.
The festival runs for a marathon 10 hours, so you'll need some sustenance. Luckily, there'll be plenty of that. Your cuisine choices range from American barbecue to Greek street food and Japanese snacks. If you're inclined to listen to us, we suggest starting with a crab slider and a spiked milkshake, moving on to a beef brisket burger and fries, then grabbing a Champagne and making your way to the dancefloor for the midnight toast and fireworks show. Let's hope the rest of 2018 is as good as the last night of 2017.
