NYE Parties: 21 for '15
From LA to Ibiza, from the Caribbean to Copenhagen, here are 21 of the planet’s biggest and best NYE parties
1 Awakenings
Gashouder, Amsterdam
Amsterdam continues its strong claim to be Europe's foremost party city with Awakenings throwing not one, not two, but three New Year's parties this time around. In a triple-header, Adam Beyer, Ben Klock and Rødhåd will ring in the New Year, as Len Faki, Blawan and Dave Clarke take over on the first night of 2016. But the celebrations will not end there as they are pushed an extra day longer by Dixon, Maceo Plex and Sven Väth, who will finally bring the curtain down on 2015 on January 2.

2 Amore Festival NYE
Nuova Fiera Roma, Rome
For this four-day festival, the Italian capital will welcome thousands of people over the New Year's period with each day presenting partygoers with a different venue in the area to attend. The main New Year's Eve party will take place in massive exhibition hall Nuova Fiera Roma, with 30,000 square metres-worth (that's more then three football pitches) of dedicated party space. Solomun, Len Faki, The Martinez Brothers, Ricardo Villalobos, Pan-Pot and more will be ringing in New Year in the Eternal City.
3 The Hydra: Bugged Out! NYE
Studio Spaces, London
Bugged Out!'s hook up with The Hydra continues to draw in some of the biggest and best names available and NYE is no exception. Heidi, Maquis Hawkes, Julio Bashmore, Derrick Carter, Shanti Celeste, Dan Beaumont, and Lemmy Ashton are just some of the names on an all star line-up. The venue is The Hydra's home turf of Studio Spaces: two vast photographic studios spilling over into one of London's rawest and best warehouse spaces.
