Live at Northcote Theatre: High Times NYE ft. SOICHI TERADA (JPN), SYSTEM OLYMPIA (UK), MARCELLUS PITTMAN (USA) + more

This year’s headliners have travelled a long way to party with you. Straight from Tokyo comes the one and only Soichi Terada, a true Japanese house legend. His joyful, synth-drenched grooves are made for midnight hugs and big-room grins.

From the UK, System Olympia debuts bringing her sharp, clubby selections to Naarm.

Detroit’s own Marcellus Pittman delivers that raw, deep, soulful Motor City sound, going B2B with Zjoso for a session that’s bound to get loose.

And because we can’t help ourselves, Zalina goes B2B with a "Secret International Guest" ... You’ll have to be there to find out who.

As always, some of our favourite local crews are along for the ride:

Cater 2 U serves up Aquenta B2B Kaurasi, Foxxy Brown, Glow, Legally Angel & The Furias, Nate Lust (Hybrid), Pitchkaa, Soju Gang and Ugliest Hottie.

Tardeando Sounds brings the sunshine with Danny Man b2b Gabss, Nay Nay and Sin Nubes.

Rounding out the lineup at High Note is a who’s who of Melbourne’s finest: Bistroteque DJs, Capers DJs, Ceylon, Charms, Crush Club, Deepa B2B Casey, Disco Mediterranea, Holy Trinity, Kerfew Collective, Palazzo and Tsotsi. Plus, we’ll be first to raise a glass to 11 Years of Finding Figaro.

Out on Bastings Street, we’re shutting the road for an open-air block party under the summer sun, with the outdoor stage presented and powered by our friends at Skylab Radio featuring the likes of Charms, Jun Wan, Samair b2b Sisterdeep, radio papa Simon TK b2b Miki, plus Umut b2b Mazzacles.

Inside, the grand old theatre transforms into a 360-degree superclub.

Next door, High Note hums from front bar to footpath.

And over at Francesca’s, Cater 2 U takes the reins of a newly transformed mini club space, with plenty of room to sweat until 3am.

With the expanded footprint comes even more room to roam, and a few of our favourite food pop-ups will be joining us to keep everyone well fed along the way.

Three years in, this block party has become a NYE tradition. Bring your loved ones and your best moves.
