Event Entertainment
The view is not the only entertainment on the night! We have the best queer DJ's and performers for you!
Returning for his seventh fabulous time spinning at Celebration NYE is DJ Mark Alsop MA15+. With over 30 years experience behind the decks in Australia, Mark kicks off the night with smooth cocktail sounds that morph into groovier beats as the sun sets and the night gathers round us.
We will be announcing our second DJ in due course.
Our DJ’s will combine for an amazing tête-à-tête set that will put a smile on your face! Look out for a classic twist on our flashback sounds set!
Our DJ’s are but the tip of the iceberg, and they will be aided and abetted in their entertainment duties by the incomparable Frock Hudson (MEL) as our MC. In addition to belting out a few choice tunes during the evening, Frock will also keep you up to date on the evening’s festivities and happenings on the harbour.
