Gig Guide Northern Rivers NYE

All the gigs planned to bring in the new year at Lismore, Casino, Alstonville, Dunoon, The Channon, Evans Head, and Ballina. See inside.

Looking for something to do this New Year’s Eve?

Rock on down to your local for an energising way to bring in 2022 as the regions’ pubs bring back bands playing rock, country and covers.

There will be lots of DJs to get your party started and in Lismore Tropical Fruits have an ensemble of electronic dance genres designed to keep you boogieing into the daylight hours.

Some pubs and clubs have organised child friendly activities with the Civic Hotel in Lismore opening at 7am on New Year’s Day for a revival and opening their bistro at 8am for a big brekkie.

For those after something a tad quieter check out Augustine‘s Wine Bar for a more intimate way to bring in the year.

Alstonville Plateau Bowls and Sports club have a retro themed event with their DJ playing hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties.

Some premises have numbers restrictions but don’t let that spoil your good time, and remember to pack that mask.
