EDMTunes Holiday & NYE 2014 Party Guide + Top 10 Events You Cannot Miss

Matt Fritsch

11 years ago

Here at EDMTunes, we want to ensure that you make the most of your free time this holiday season and enable you to rave as much as possible during your time off from your everyday “real life” responsibilities. That’s why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to conglomerate an ever-growing attempt at an exhaustive EDM party list for New Years Eve 2014, as well as an EDMTunes Top 10 List for the most impressive pending shows. I mean, come on…we have over 125 total events so far…

In staff discussions, we concluded that there lacked a singular point-of-information for electronic music events (as a whole and for the holiday season), and thus locating all of the events and coordinating accordingly becomes a logistical nightmare. So the past couple months we have been adding and adding and adding to our ongoing list of premiere parties for the week prior to New Years up until New Years Day for all you lovely party people.

(your way(s) to ringing in a rave new year is just below the jump…)
