5 fun ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve at home

New Years Eve

The countdown is on for 2024, and if you’re like most people, you want to be at the right place to welcome the new year.

Hogmanay torch parade

Mark Ronson’s your man this Hogmanay 2019 and the world’s having a minor panic. He’s done the Academy Award, Grammy and Golden Globe thing and now, Ronson’s doing the Hog, hosting a whopping party party to ring in 2020 in Scotland’s capital, marking the first time a DJ is doing Edinburgh’s Hogmanay. He did Glastonbury, too, making the UK Ronson’s next big, obvious thing. All this comes after the release in June of Late Night Feelings, a sparkling summer soundtrack filled with leading female vocalists including Camilla Cabello, Miley Cyrus, Angel Olsen, Lykke Li and YEBBA. The whole event’s called Mark Ronson’s “Hogmanay in the Gardens” and will be complete with iconic trumpet fanfares and more bangers than the midnight fireworks, making it the best place to welcome the new decade.  Get tickets from 10am on 22 July at edinburghshogmanay.com.
