If your 2021 was anything like mine, it went by in the blink of an eye. There is less than a month until we ring in the New Year and with so many festivals to choose from, saying “Hello, 2022” is sure to be a blast.

Bringing back their alien-themed New Year’s event to Southern California, Countdown features incredible artists across a plethora of subgenres. This two-day event features artists such as AC Slater, Alan Walker, Lil Texas, Kayzo, Flosstradamus, and more.

It would be a crime to miss the first year of this festival if you live in Florida.
Decadence NYE |Denver, Colorado | 12/30-12/31
Featuring artists such as Herobust, Steve Aoki, TroyBoi, REZZ, and Subtronics, Decadence Colorado is going to be a bass-heavy event this year. Taking a hint from the logo, guests are likely to see more gold this New Year’s Eve compared to 2019.

Another diverse lineup coming at you courtesy of Decadence Arizona features the do-not-miss Seven Lions, Nora en Pure, Excision, Kaskade, and others. Travel packages are available for those coming out of state. So, pack your fuzzy jackets and get ready to count down at this two-day fest.

Lights All Night |Dallas, Texas | 12/30-12/31
Robots, aliens, and disco! Oh my! A bass-heavy meets deep house festival highlighting artists such as Svdden Death, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Loud Luxury, and Malaa. Lights All Night promotes getting lost in their world and exploring their ‘planet of color, light and sound.’
Lights All Night |Minneapolis, Minnesota | 12/30-12/31

Moonlight Masquerade |Portland, Oregon | 12/31/2021-01/01/2022
Another event for the bassheads, Moonlight Masquerade includes some artists not yet mentioned on this list. Kill the Noise, Jason Ross, Inzo, Ganja White Night, and Peekabo, for a start, but also must include Seven Lions. The name of the event has me wondering if the masks are for the eyes or for the mouth…
OMFG! |San Diego, California | 12/30-12/31/2021
Coming back for its ninth year, OMFG! brings a multi-genre lineup of artists Cash Cash, Hex Cougar, Zeds Dead, Dillon Francis and others to this two day fest.
