2019 is almost over, and everyone is looking for New Year’s Eve plans right now. As it’s the end of an epic decade, this year’s celebration has got to be massive. Personally, I can’t imagine a better way to end the year than a spectacular adventure in New York City! Although I’ve never been, I am quickly getting a taste for the incredible music scene in NYC. If you’ve seen some of the mind-blowing concert announcements, you’ve likely got DEG Presents to thank for it.
DEG Presents is at the forefront of NYC’s music and nightlife industry. From small-scale events to massive festivals, DEG’s commitment to making entertainment events exciting doesn’t go unnoticed. Considering DEG’s founder Eddie Dean’s has 30 years of experience in NYC nightlife, it is no surprise that his company brings a premier music experience to locals and visitors alike. This month, DEG Presents is pulling out all the stops and bringing some of the hottest music artists to the city to celebrate the new year.
Eric Prydz Presents: HOLO NYC
Now, I nearly suffered a heart attack when I saw this show announcement. If you’re a fan of Eric Prydz and you live in the U.S., you know how elusive he can be. Even on the very rare occasion he announces a “tour” in the U.S., it is typically extremely limited in terms of the number of shows and the locations. Plus, the shows sell out in literal seconds. It’s been three years since he brought his last curated show, EPIC 4.0, to the U.S. Unless you live under a rock, you’ve seen the mind-bending projects Prydz has debuted in the last year, including HOLO, HOLOSPHERE and VOID.
December 27th-29th, Eric Prydz is bringing HOLO to the massive 60,000 square foot New York Expo Center. That’s right, three straight nights of thumping house, techno and everything in between, featuring the craziest holographic visuals you’ve ever seen. Of course, all three shows will be unique. Considering he normally retires a production after its debut, I know this stage is special to him. It is an absolute treat to have the opportunity to experience HOLO in its full musical and visual glory. Unfortunately, tickets for all three shows sold out instantly. However, to the lucky ones that scored tickets: I hope you’re ready.
Above & Beyond NYE
DEG Presents is not stopping there, though. They’ve got a stacked lineup for New Years Eve, just following the Eric Prydz shows. On December 31st, catch Above & Beyond at the New York Expo Center. The special guests joining them for the night include Andrew Bayer, Genix and Nox Vahn. Anjunabeats and DEG Presents are joining forces to bring this show to New York, and I already know this is going to be the perfect show to ring in the new year.
Above & Beyond is well known for their feel-good trance and progressive sound. Their music is full of emotion and their shows exemplify that. Beautiful visuals and heartfelt lyrics will come together on New Year’s Eve to help you reflect on the last year and the last decade. Andrew Bayer is a close friend to the Anjunabeats community and is quickly claiming his right to fame. His music seamlessly blends electronica, tranc and progressive with influences from all different genres. Genix has had a long career in the trance music scene and is an Anjunabeats veteran. It’s always a pleasure to catch an artist who is so passionate about the scene and committed to the music. Don’t miss his set.
Tickets for Above & Beyond NYE are still available, but are due to sell out very soon. Grab your tickets here before the show completely sells out!
