With just days to go, New Year’s at the Bowl has unveiled its official set times for the inaugural 2025 edition, locking in a stacked schedule across three stages at Melbourne’s iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Gardens. The one-day celebration takes place on 31st December, with gates opening from 4pm and music running well into the early hours.

Electronic legends Underworld will bring the night to a euphoric close at The Bowl, playing a peak-time set from 12.10am to 1.25am. Just before them, Carl Cox will lead the New Year’s Eve countdown from 11pm, while Confidence Man, Sam Gellaitry, and Good Neighbours round out a high-energy Bowl lineup. Elsewhere in the Garden, Berlioz, Joy Crookes, and Milo Eastwood will keep the vibes flowing, while the Sundial stage will host late-night performances from Ross From Friends (presents Bubble Love), Roza Terenzi, and Prosumer.

Fans can now plan their night in full, with no major artist clashes across headline sets. Highlights from the earlier schedule include performances by INJI, Big Wett, Emma-Jean Thackray, and Harvey Sutherland, offering something for all tastes from the moment gates open. The festival’s multi-stage layout is designed for seamless flow between acts, with each zone offering a unique sound and atmosphere.

Presented by Live Nation, New Year’s at the Bowl blends world-class production with lush natural surroundings, set to become a key fixture on Melbourne’s summer calendar. Final release tickets remain available from $189.90, with anticipation building for what promises to be a landmark start to 2026.
