Goodbyes are tough, but this week’s slew of New Year’s Eve bashes sure make it easier to send off 2019 in style. As usual, Marina Bay sees the lion’s share of festive action − rave out with Silent Disco and catch some circus thrills right on the bayfront. And as they say, every end is a new beginning (of another party, in this case). Kick off 2020 right with a fabulously boozy brunch at Tanjong Beach Club, or dig into a hearty barbecue at LeVeL33.
Groove Out Of 2019 with Silent Disco
Bop your way into 2020 with the city’s quietest and craziest rave. As always, Silent Disco Asia is spinning us three channels of thumping tunes, from house hoedown to rock anthems to pop chart-toppers. Groove out with your headset-wearing homies in the glittering Civic District, complete with unrivalled views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. No worries about party fuel − there’ll be a variety of food stalls around the space, and of course, a fully-stocked bar.

For its Singapore debut, The Great Circus of Europe is set to get your adrenaline rushing with aerial motorbike feats by The Skyriders, stunning acrobatics by The Athumani Warriors, sultry choreography by The London Showgirls, and more.
