For more ideas, peruse our full New Year's Eve calendar. 2025 ALIVE! A Nonbinary Girlfriend New Year's Eve ExperienceI know I'm not the only one who gets weirdly emotional and reflective every New Year's Eve, so I appreciate that this bash has the realistic goal of celebrating the "joy of being alive and the pain of living." Cry your way into 2025 with moody tunes from three local bands: pop-punk outfit Nonbinary Girlfriend, melodramatic synth-pop gem Bijoux Cone, and self-identified "creepy slut rock" band Wed Thud. DJ Kye Alive will guide you through the evening with opening and closing ceremonies, intention setting, and a balloon drop at midnight. AUDREY VANN (Show Bar, Buckman)
