Darwin Waterfront Corporation
The 8 x Aria award-winning singer, hot off the release of her latest ARIA #1 album Cry Forever, Amy Shark will headline a night to remember including sensational sisters The Veronicas, Brisbane chart topper Conrad Sewell and 8 piece Darwin-based band 'Disco Polenta' with Natalie Pellegrino and Shalom Kaa.
Shark, who burst back onto the music scene in 2020 with her international pop sound single, 'Everybody Rise', said she was excited to be sharing New Year's Eve in Darwin.
Pop Duo The Veronicas – aka Jess and Lisa Origliasso – can't wait to enthral music lovers either, especially after their June national tour, which included Darwin, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kids are in for the best New Year's Eve ever with a show by everybody's favourite Blue Heeler, Bluey, and her sister Bingo and a performance from the full crew of Nickelodeon's Paw Patrol.
Food and full service bars, roving entertainment, a Welcome to Country and two fireworks extravaganzas will also ensure 2021 ends with a bang.
Gates will open at 4pm with family fun kicking off at 5.30pm.
New to this year is the option of alternate seating zones for revellers with your own private bar, delicious food offerings and nearby bathrooms.
At both 9pm and midnight the skies will ignite with two ten-minute fireworks spectaculars.
Bring along your picnic rugs and chairs and nestle in for the evening at the Waterfront.
Tickets start at $35 and approximately 9000 will be available. Children aged 5 and under are free with a paying adult.
