After making an impressive debut last year, New Year’s at the Bowl returns to Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the surrounding Kings Domain gardens on New Year’s Eve.

Taking place on Thursday, 31 December, the Live Nation-presented festival introduces its second year with a wide-ranging line-up. Led by Major Lazer – returning to Australia for the first time in eleven years – and a secret second headliner ringing in the New Year, there’s plenty of excitement to come.

In addition to the headliners, the line-up stars international and homegrown talent, including Don West, DJ Seinfeld (Live), a Flight Facilities DJ set, CC:DISCO!, Helena Hauff, a DJ set from Todd Terje, and more.

PBS FM’s Milo Eastwood will keep the vibes high throughout the day, hosting and soundtracking the festival.

Beginning in the afternoon of Thursday, 31 December, the festival will take punters into the early hours of 2027, with tunes blasting until 1:30 am across three stages around the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Kings Domain gardens.

According to a press release, The Bowl will be the site of the main stage, while the Garden is expected to feature live music, soul, and disco, as well as the 360-degree Sundial for deeper club sounds.

Mike Ross, Promoter of New Year’s at the Bowl, said of the festival’s return, “Last year showed how naturally the Bowl and surrounding gardens work for New Year’s Eve.

“This year we’re carrying forward the distinct identity of each of our three stages to keep New Year’s at the Bowl unmistakably Melbourne: welcoming, musically broad and full of character. The hope is it becomes a New Year’s Eve tradition – somewhere that people with different tastes can come together every year.”

Arts Centre Melbourne’s Director of Presenter Services, Glen Hirst, added, “Sidney Myer Music Bowl, the world’s greatest outdoor music venue, has been an essential part of Melbourne’s entertainment scene since 1959.

“Right in the heart of the city surrounded by the beautiful Kings Domain gardens, it is the perfect spot to welcome in the new year. Last year’s celebration was a huge hit, and we can’t wait to bring New Year’s at the Bowl back, bigger and better for round two!”
