31/12/09

Back in 1994, New Year's Eve never happened at all in Kiribati as the Phoenix Islands and Line Islands changed time zones from UTC-11 to UTC+13 and UTC-10 to UTC+14, respectively, thereby crossing the international date line without even moving. It is not clear whether residents still went ahead with their New Year parties. Residents of Budapest will be relieved to know that New Year's Eve will be happening here and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy it...

Tesco Disco Szilveszter
(Concert/club)

Corvintető, 31st December, 20:00, 2500Ft
Corvin Áruház, Blaha Lujza tér 1-2 [map]
Pest Centre, VIII, Blaha Lujza tér (M2, T4/6), 1 min

An excellent line-up for a comparatively reasonable price. Get there early, as this one will be packed! With both rooms offering alternative line-ups, you get a choice of entertainment too. The emphasis is on Indie and Electro-Indie music. The big room, launches with Electro-pop band Neo, followed by a band who seem to be the "flavour of the month" for indie-electronica fans, The Kolin, nominated in this year's MTV EMA Awards as best European act and Hungary's most successful Indie export, the Moog. Between and after the bands, the Tesco Disco DJs will keep the party going until beyond sunrise. Meanwhile, for discerning Indie fans, the little room is the place to be to hear EZ Basic doing an acoustic set and teenaged Indie sensations Jacked keeping the crowd thoroughly entertained, accompanied by the Gumipop DJ team.
