The big New Year's Eve event kicks off with DJ Munich's Phantom on the stage at the Victory Gate (like all stages, starting at 7 p.m.), which is known for its catchy pop and party music:

We'll also hear

• Munich's number one party act, Gerry & Gary, who, among other things, rock the Käfer Wies'n Schänke every year,
• and the musical guerilla urban brass band MOOP MAMA with their blend of reggae, soul, funk, and hip-hop
• Munich DJ veteran Mitja Lafere will be laying down his sonic tapestry
• ...

Local Voices, the stage at Geschwister-Scholl-Platz, is primarily dedicated to singer-songwriters and local music acts.

Tradition meets modernity:

• Alex Volta, a rising star of the local techno scene, will warm up the crowd, opening their ears to the musical delights to come.
• With their unique, atmospheric sounds, inspired by jazz, classical, and folk music, the four-piece band OH THEIA creates an intimate atmosphere with only one goal: to connect people through music.
• "Do something awesome with musical tradition, but don't ruin it" is the motto of the man who will then take to the stage with one of Bavaria's most traditional instruments:

Bavarian ambassador Loisach Marci is guaranteed to get the audience going wild with his alphorn techno – across all generations.

Before the big New Year's Eve countdown begins, Anna Apprezzato takes over: The musician, lighting director and creative mind is a member of several ensembles, e.g. the techno orchestra vkko, together with her French horn.

On the Huber Beats stage at Professor-Huber-Platz, none other than the club CRUX is celebrating its long-awaited revival:

For everyone whose heart beats at 85-95 beats per minute, former owner Tom Nothaft aka DJ NotFX and his hand-picked DJ crew, consisting of Dinho (Club: Lucky Who), Mello (Homegirl), Dino Might (Say My Name), and Dan Gerous (Crux), will be spinning the finest hip-hop.

At the DJ stage directly to the right of Ludwigskirche
electronic dance music fans will be raving at Ludwig Beats:

The DJ duo Stellson & Špii will kick things off with a smooth set, specializing in downtempo and midtempo music and indulging in their holy grail, "the bounce," with rich, rich sounds.

Next up is Munich's EDM party legend and Pacha resident Tonio Barrientos. With his seemingly endless library, he and Domenic D'Agnelli have been enriching the nights of the Bavarian capital since 2002 with unforgettable party series like Rekord Club, Turntable Grooves, and Friendly Feier, and he boasts bookings for some of the most important international clubs.

Next up is Genji Yoshida: he carries techno deep in his heart, but is at home in house music. Whether at Harry Klein, Rote Sonne, COT, or Lovelace: there's hardly a turntable in Munich's hottest clubs that this artist, whose work lies at the intersection of music, design, and clothing, hasn't touched... The wild ride of Ludwig Beats reaches its climax with a set by the DJ duo PASCANI (vølta and Pascale Luise), whose unmistakable, profoundly energetic sound regularly delights the "Gruam" and "LOK" crowds as residents.

And the culinary needs of visitors won't be neglected at Munich's New Year's Eve celebrations:

A wide variety of food trucks and stalls, both large and small, will offer a rich selection for everyone, with a focus on regional dishes and ingredients from Bavaria.

"Ludwigstrasse, the festival grounds, will be uniquely illuminated throughout the entire evening.

... Shortly before midnight, our visitors can look forward to a breathtaking light, video, and laser show the likes of which Munich has never seen before. We deliberately opted against fireworks. With this decision, the city is taking a pioneering role in environmentally friendly large-scale events, which, ideally, will set a precedent. An artistic light and laser show instead of fireworks, an evening without particulate matter emissions and the noise of firecrackers – this will be a sustainable experience without negative consequences for animals and the environment," says Alexander Wolfrum, Managing Director of the Munich event agency G.R.A.L. GmbH adds: “Perhaps even more importantly: Of course, we will implement a comprehensive safety concept with our partners. This way, everyone can celebrate safely together.”
