Ringing in the New Year
With just a couple of weeks left to the New Year, it’s time to consider where to celebrate. As we say in Ukraine, a good beginning to the year ensures a great year ahead! So we’ve taken the liberty of rounding up some fabulous events to get your 2019 started in the best way possible
Get Happy, Get New
Samskara is an immersive exhibition featuring paintings by American artist Andrew Johns, known for his collaboration with the Burning Man Festival. Add here music from Anatoly Tapolsky and Vlad Fisun, who will play the whole night, in a two-tier space with bars, a food court, spherical cinema, chill zone, and secret room. The first 500 tickets sold have +1 at the entrance, so hurry and get in on the gig.

“Atlas is a starship that will go on a New Year’s Eve trip to far-off galaxies”, organisers say. The party promises a space travel theme, with three dance floors, each in their own style. Performances by Ukrainian bands, including Yuko, Latexfauna, and FontalizaTechno will play in the Banana Room, while Barbara Bar will host the hits of the ‘90s. So, put on your cosmic helmet and let’s fly far far away.

Get a little Closer
As per tradition, Closer presents an evening of electronic music this New Year. The main theme of the party is being kept a secret, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get ready to rock around the clock. With the party lineup already announced, get ready for guests from the Netherlands and residents of Boiler Room: Marcel Vogel (house) and San Proper. As well, Maayan Nidam (techno) will perform for the 10th time in the last four years. More news coming soon.
