Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: New Year’s Eve party tips
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 16 December 2011
The most stressful party of the festive period, beyond trying to decide what to get for that one impossible to please family member, is where you should celebrate the new year. New Year’s Eve is the biggest party of the year, and you may already be entertaining the idea of just staying at home, rather than trying to navigate all of the many possibilities. Well, stop! CMU’s clubbing columnist Vigsy has already done all the trawling for you, and he’s found the best three parties on offer.
Ano Novo no Guanabara
Every year, Guanabara hosts a lively New Year’s Eve party, with an authentic Brazilian theme where the guests wear white, eat twelve grapes at midnight to bring good luck for each month of the new year, and wear ‘ribbons’ of Senhor do Bomfim to assure yet more good fortune. And two hours later we do it again – with a live transmission from Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Lost at Plastic People
Plastic People will host a sixteen hour long party put on by one of London’s premiere techno nights, Lost. Headlining is the massive Detroit star that is Juan Atkins. He’ll be backed up by Chris Carrier and Lost resident/Cosmic Records head honcho Steve Bicknell. Also in the mix will be Tomoki Tamura, Eightbitrate, Toru, Jon Bengry and Leon Clarkson.
The Vinyl Touch at Rhythm Factory
Here’s, my final instalment of New Year’s Eve club tips. And this one will provide a simple but solid line up guaranteed to rock in the new year, with original old school legend Shut Up & Dance, Aquasky, EZ Rollers and a whole host more. It will be a big event and I like the Rhythm Factory – it always has a good vibe, and with this line up that will be particularly true this Hogmanay.
