For those of you in the North West, the big parties in Manchester this New Year will surely be the two Tribal Gathering nights presenting some fine music to 2000 revellers in a secret warehouse location.
On New Years Eve there's Groove Armada plus guests Tom Finlay, Andy Cato, MC MAD, Bongo Jesus and Kryso and Ian Taylor (9pm - 5am, tickets £35). On New Year's day the party continues with a Hacienda Re-Union - Mike Pickering and Graeme Park perform an eight hour set from 6pm to 4am (tickets £20).
You can buy tickets from Sankeys Soap on 0871 910 5200 or the Piccadilly Office on 0161 832 1111 - more info at http://www.tribalgathering.co.uk.
