TIJUANA CARTEL
Our Gold Coast/Byron Bay based besties bring their legendary all-dancing, hands-in-the-air, infectious and mesmerizing mash of electronic and world music to New Years Day. Get ready to let go as they go deep and turn a rich tapestry of global grooves, world sounds and glorious beats into a unique and immersive sonic soundscape that brings us all together as one on the first night of the year. Expect euphoria and dancing in their east meets west wonderland of house, flamenco, afro, techno, dub and more.
SUNSHINE BROTHERS
2025 is a very special year for the Brothers as NYD marks the start of their 20th anniversary year with the same line up!! They’ve been everywhere and seen and done ALOT of hilarious things together but like cheese or wine are definitely getting better with age. They’ll be playing their signature WA premium blend of tropical/dub/reggae sounds with more heart and soul than ever. The ‘house band’ for this gig couldn’t be happier to be here for the 17th time!
TTT AFRO BAND
A must see! The talk of Wave Rock Weekender 2024 after two joyous and heartfelt sets of afro music that brought the people together, the smiles and dancing.
Get in early to feel the rhythmical power, joy and big heart of Moses and his aptly named “To The Toes” Afro Band.
The real deal.
As always - being January 1 it is 100% guaranteed to be the best show of the year so far and the perfect way to bypass the New Year's Eve buffoons, bozos and queues or to simply relax away the effects of your very own buffoonery from the night before.
