NYE & NYD Festival Melbourne
This festival will become the city’s flagship end-of-year celebration. On New Year’s Eve, expect explosive electronic sets and a midnight countdown like no other. On New Year’s Day, the tempo shifts with soulful, groove-driven sounds to start the year with sunshine and rhythm.
Why New Year’s at the Bowl 2025 2026
A world class location: Few venues can rival the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Nestled in the Kings Domain gardens, the site provides a natural amphitheatre under the Melbourne skyline, perfect for large-scale live music. Diverse sounds across two days: The programming brings together pioneering electronic icons like Underworld and Carl Cox with genre-spanning artists including Santigold, Joy Crookes, and local innovators such as Glass Beams. The balance of international and Australian talent ensures something for everyone.
