DJ Snake To Kick Off 2018 At Brisbane's New NYD Event Day One

Acclaimed dance floor-filler DJ Snake will headline Brisbane's inaugural Day One event on New Year's Day 2018, helping south-east Queenslanders kick off the calendar the right way (i.e. by partying with their mates).

Held at the Riverstage, Day One will also welcome US trap and bass producer Baauer, esteemed Canadian producer and DJ Rezz, and New Zealand bass star Quix, with more acts yet to be announced.

Off the back of successful collabs with the likes of Lil Jon (Turn Down For What), Major Lazer (Lean On, ft MØ) and more, DJ Snake released his debut full-length, Encore, last year, which featured among its tracks successful single Let Me Love You, featuring Justin Bieber.

This year has seen the Frenchman continue to earn accolades for his chart-topping work, including dual nominations at this year's Billboard Music Awards and iHeartRadio Music Awards, as well as a nod at the Kids' Choice Awards. What can we say — the man has broad appeal.

Day One is the brainchild of Revelry Entertainment — the folks behind The Met — and Fuzzy Control group, a partnership of promoters who've had their hands in staging events such as Field Day, Listen Out, Stereosonic and Touch Bass.

First tickets ($79 + bf) will go on sale from 9am tomorrow, 31 August, via the festival's website.
