New Years Eve

New Years is happening again and it’s a case of if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em

All over Sydney and Melbourne things are being turned all the way up, with DJ acts, bottomless everythings and general debauchery available everywhere to welcome-in 2019. Here’s where to go…

NYE at Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel

Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel crowd

With an electric line up and unbeatable views of the fireworks action over the city skyline, Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel is the place to kick back and let loose on the biggest night of the year. The event opens at 5pm with warm up sets from local DJs, before Sydney DJ and producer Jesse Porches takes to the decks – fresh from his national tour of Australia, Jesse’s worked with the likes of Flume and Skepta and is tipped to be one to watch on the electronic scene. He’s warming up for event headliner MUTO, the northern beaches born DJ and producer who packed out the tent at his Splendour in the Grass debut this year; MUTO will be ramping up the energy as the clock strikes midnight and local DJs continue the party until 2am.
