So after all the waiting, Christmas has been and gone and this can mean only one thing - next stop NYE, the biggest party night of the year.
There are heaps of festivals around the country, with the wildly popular Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne and the Canaan Downs Festival in Nelson. Important to note the Mercury Rising festival in Whitianga has been cancelled.
For those of you who want to groove the night away, there’s Oxygen 08 in Auckland, the Big Drop Off in Wellington, Supergroove are at Butler's Reef, the Feelers are in Motueka, The Black Seeds play Wanaka and Th' Dudes will rock Waihi Beach.
And if you’re in Auckland, why not head to the big free party at the Edge as we celebrate First Night.
