New Year’s Eve

Music
Free

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in the heart of the city, with a curated line-up of some of Melbourne’s most exciting DJs on the Main Stage, or book in an all-inclusive drinks and entertainment experience at one of our bars or restaurants. 

If you’re planning on celebrating New Year’s Eve at Fed Square, there are a range of options for you to help you celebrate your way, safely.

Out in the Main Square, you can enjoy free entertainment, curated by returning DJ favourite, Barry Sunset. Barry will kick off and close the night on the decks, with a line-up featuring other legendary Melbourne DJs, MzRizk and Gavin Campbell.

Many of our restaurants and bars offer all-inclusive drinks and dining packages for a stress-free option to celebrate, many with a front row ticket to the fireworks.

Expect disco, funk, house and dancefloor classic throughout the night, as the soundtrack to your 2026 countdown.

Be sure to check the City of Melbourne’s website on news and updates about crowd control measures that will be in place during New Year’s Eve. The night is always a busy one in the city, and there are a number of alternative Celebration Zones located in the CBD, where you can guarantee a good view of the fireworks.

Stay safe and celebrate!
