1st January
What: Music lovers unite seaside, under the palms as we welcome in 2020 with Melbourne’s most popular theme party!

This year’s Nautical theme encourages sailors, sailorettes, captains and first mates, lifesavers, deep sea divers and everything else below sea level. Let’s get shipwrecked!
Why: We’re placing bets on who gets garroted and eaten first.

Start the New Year in style with Fitzroy’s finest homosexuals for DJs, dancing, debauchery, fresh fruit, sprinklers (if it’s hot) and spritz.

6) Animals Dancing: NYD
1st January
What: This summer Animals presents to you their largest production yet, roaring into the twenty-twenties for the ninth annual AD NYD celebration! They’re stretching their legs and spreading things out across the huge outdoor and warehouse spaces of Melbourne’s newest party compound for a limited capacity daytime dance! Over two expansive stages they have carefully curated your party experience for another year, set against the backdrop of Port Melbourne’s industrial rave ready past. Featuring: Lena Willikens (Dekmantel, DE), Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space, US), Tornado Wallace (Running Back, DE), DJ Sports & Central (Regelbau, DK), The Pilotwings (BFDM, FR), Nosedrip (Stroom, BE), Sleep D (Butter Sessions, AU), 12th Isle (Glasgow, UK), Vanessa Worm (Optimo Music, NZ), Darcy Justice (Sunset Sounds, AU), Pjenné (PBS, AU), Otologic (Animals Dancing, AU) and Andee Frost (Animals Dancing, AU).
Why: If only this event featured cats as opposed to humans dancing. You’d all become YouTube-famous and be wealthy enough to buy and sell an event like this. Oh well. Fingers crossed for a live-streamable atrocity.

5) Sundown New Year’s Day
1st January
What: Kick off your 2020 New Year celebrations at Melbourne’s biggest inner city gathering. Watch the sun set upon Melbourne’s city skyline as Sundown introduces a brand-new outdoor CBD concept. Boasting a 5,000 capacity venue that features one of the most spectacular backdrops the city has to offer. An improved venue has also allowed them to assemble our biggest lineup of trance, psytrance and hardtrance DJs. Featuring: Aly & Fila, Berg, Cold Blue, Mark Sherry & Scot Project Presents Gentech, Factor B and Jordan Suckley.
Why: Not to be confused with Melbourne’s other biggest inner city gathering. Where everyone’s scratching their needle-marked arms and asking if you can spare $500 and the music is far superior.
