TROUGH NYE/NYD: Sydney’s Wild 24-Hour Countdown

Ring in the new year like only Trough knows how — with a sweat-drenched, color-drenched, bass-drenched 24-hour party that bridges the end of 2026 and the dawn of 2027. Located in the heart of Surry Hills, TROUGH X SYDNEY transforms into a pulsating playground of rhythm, rhythm, and more rhythm — perfect for queer souls ready to dance till dawn.

This isn’t just another countdown — it’s a full-sensory immersion. Expect an all-night dancefloor alive with house, techno, and experimental beats, plus a darkroom zone for those who like their vibes a little more… intimate. No gogo dancers, no clichés — just pure, unfiltered celebration.

Whether you’re chasing sunrise or closing down the room with your crew, TROUGH NYE/NYD is built for everyone. The crowd’s as diverse as the music: queer, non-binary, trans, lesbian, gay, bi — all welcome, all celebrated. It’s the kind of space where you can lose yourself — and find yourself again — dancing under the glow of strobes and confetti.

Pro tip: come early, stay late. The party kicks off at 9pm AEDT on New Year’s Eve and rolls seamlessly into New Year’s Day at the same time. No breaks. No intermission. Just vibes.

Here’s the lineup of sonic architects who’ll be holding down the decks:

• Fragile Future
• Hot Pink
• Nic Holland
• Banksie
