The beloved Victorian New Year’s Eve event, NYE On The Hill, will take a break in 2025.

Festival organisers shared the news on social media today, revealing that they’re giving the festival site some time to “relax, repair and rejuvenate.”

“Howdy Folks! We’re taking a year off NYE on the Hill this year,” the organisers’ statement reads. “Giving the Farm a well-earned chance to relax, repair and rejuvenate. Look forward to welcoming y’all back next NYE.”

Located at The Farm, Krowera, Victoria, NYE On The Hill is a regional festival that always brings the good vibes.

Born out of an idea from The Hills Are Alive Festival to host an intimate NYE celebration with friends, the initial “little party” held just 217 punters for New Year’s Eve 2012. The day was so fun that the original concept developed into a festival.

“Each year, NYE on the Hill continues to celebrate all the things that makes The Hills Are Alive vibe what it is,” a statement on the festival’s website reads, adding that those things are: “Good people. Great Music. A Stunning Location. Good Times.

“Thanks again for all your amazing support. We don’t take it for granted.”

Last year’s NYE On The Hill festival was led by headliners Mallrat and The Dreggs.

Aside from the headliners, the three-day event locked in Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, Elsy Wameyo, Jem Cassar-Daley, Playlunch, Ninajirachi, Hockey Dad, South Summit, Rum Jungle, The Belair Lip Bombs, Ixaras, and more.

In addition to the music, the festival hosts three days and two nights of free camping, BYO drinks, cocktail bars, beautiful views and awe-inspiring sunsets, over 30 amazing bands, DJs, and artists, games, food, relaxation areas, late-night dances, art installations, morning yoga, and other activities.
