Beatport & Absolut announce a special New Year’s Eve live-stream event titled Dance The Year Away, which will be a 20-plus hour online party hitting more than 15 time zones with DJs in cities around the world.
The event, which will begin just before midnight local time in Melbourne, Australia with a special performance set by Carl Cox, will also feature sets from Jamie Jones, BLOT! Jaguar, TOKiMONSTA, and more. The livestream will travel to major cities around the world to experience each city countdown to the new year. After they hit each time zone, they will close with another Carl Cox set in Melbourne to wrap-up the event.
“This has been a challenging year for everyone. But one silver lining has been how the dance community has rallied around live streams to keep the culture that we all love alive. Coming together with Absolut to host this incredible lineup performing from cities all over the world is the best way to send 2020 packing.”
Ed Hill, Vice President of Media Group at Beatport
