The festival for anybody who is hotter than hell and can spin around faster than Snoop Dogg’’s career. The touring festival (which visits Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide) will consist of every dance inducing artist from Snoop Dogg to Calvin Harris.
Described by it’s promoters as “Colourfornia” where you apparently spalsh every colour you want all around, the chosen artists probably couldn’t reflect that more. Snoop Dogg, Calvin Harris, Pendulum, Scissor Sisters, Moby, Sasha, Tiga and Erick Morillo.
This festival is an absolute must.

Basically Sydney’s strange (but typical) way of dragging Summafielddayze artists to Bondi because they missed out. Although the starting time is quite interesting (8.30pm-3am) and really gives a new years spark to those who really wanted to start the year off with a bang.
Snoop Dogg, Calvin Harris and Pendulum are performing at this sandy event for those who are looking for an unfound resolution.

A fascinating mix of dance/pop’s most fascinating and cringe-worthy people all in one of the biggest new years eve freak show destinations in history.
Jamiroquai, Culture Club & Pet Shop Boys amongst Guy Sebastian and Pseudo Echo this is surely without a doubt one of the best New Years celebrations that Sydney has seen in a while.
Field Day- January 1st
Sydney Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney
ticketdesq - $135
Sydney Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney
ticketdesq - $135

One way to celebrate the new year is to cry and make your resolutions on the night if you have too, then go out and celebrate with music and sweaty punters. If that is your plan then Field Day is probably for you.
Apparently an Australian New Years is nothing without Calvin Harris, who is appearing at the New Years Day event as well as other international artists such as 12th Planet, Busy P, Crystal Castles, Foreign Beggars and Tiga.
Also Field Day includes Australian acts such as Alison Wonderland, Anna Lunoe, Cloud Control, Doctor Werewolf, Elizabeth Rose and of course Gotye.
This is one festival that should satisfy everybody.
