New Years has become one of the busiest times for festivals in Australia. From multiple day events like Falls Festival to jam-packed single day festivals like Field Day or NYE In The Park, there are a bunch of options for punters to bring in the new year with their favourite artists.

With so many festivals happening at once, it’s no surprise that it’s a pretty busy time for artists as well. Here’s a few of the artists set to have a non-stop New Year’s performing around Australia.
