Knickerbocker New Year's Knees Up

Sweet, kitsch and full of surprises – just like the ice cream sundae – Knickerbocker is a queer dance party not to be missed. It’s last New Year’s bash had a 400-person waiting list, so this year it’s taking over two venues to avoid disappointment. To see you into 2025 in style it has another stonking line-up of DJs and performers, including Jonjo Jury, Themenwhofell2earth, Le Puf, Alex Lawless, Alex Rata and Aaron Zimbra. A mega session going til 5am on NYD, it’s also a chance to say a proper goodbye to the current iteration of Hackney Wick’s much-loved Yard Theatre before it gets demolished in the spring ahead of the creation of a purpose built venue opening in 2026.
