Nowadays Nonstop: New Years
It doesn’t feel like anything close to twelve months since we rang in last New Years, but time flies when you’re having fun, and we’ve had a mountain of it in 2019. To celebrate all that’s been and all that’s still to come, we’re doing it Nonstop-style, starting 2020 with a proper bang.
Our resident DJs will be joined by a whole host of extra dope DJs starting on New Year’s Eve, running all the way into New Year’s Day and beyond with no stopping at the bar, no stopping in the booth and no stopping on the dance floor.
We’ll start things off with a special edition of Planetarium, musically programmed by the wonderful Weird Science crew, aka Amourette, Maroje T and mscln. From 6pm to 7:30pm, Diner by the Izakaya will serve up dinner (the meal is included in the price of all Planetarium tickets), and we’ll keep it social and bubbly. Then at 7:30pm, we’ll clear away the tables and go deep. Bring pillows, blankets and anything else you need to get lost in music for a couple hours. (You can check whatever you bring in coat check later.)
Nowadays residents Analog Soul will take over at 11pm, bringing the vibe from horizontal to vertical, and from there it’s off to the races. Rising star Club Fitness will jump in to keep it popping through peak-time; followed by Nowadays resident and musical polymath Justin Carter, who’ll bring the sublime as the sun comes up.
One of the most gifted in the game, Avalon Emerson, will take over at 8am for a six hour special, before the always amazing Shaun J. Wright continues the celebrations and scintillations into the late afternoon.
With darkness descending again we’re leaving the hi-fi in the hands of a living legend — it’s the one and only Tony Humphries from 5pm until it’s done.
Diner by the Izakaya will be dishing out tasty snacks from the kitchen to keep you nourished throughout, and there’ll be a cozy scene out in the back yard, with plenty of pits for warming and the heated yurt for chatting and chilling.
Massive shout out to everyone who danced with us in 2019. Here’s to even more in 2020.
Sunday: Soul Summit All Day
The mighty Soul Summit returns to help us close out the year strong.
Saturday: FNV (Michael Magnan and JT Almon) and Danny Daze
Nowadays residents JT Almon and Michael Magnan, known collectively as FNV, return to light it up again. This time, they’ve got OMNIDISC honcho and ceaselessly inventive and rebellious dance floor destroyer Danny Daze with them.
