Attention all gods and goddesses of mirth and fancy, all star-drunk revellers and crystal-eyed clowns, all night-eating demagogues and sparkle-bellied darlings of anarchy, we call you! Come, hold the moon in your teeth and join us as we flit and folly and feast on the promise of a New Year’s celebration like no other.
Delve into the age-old tradition of masque and costumery, invoking spirits and spectres strange and true that they may feed on hours of intoxicating visuals from SMUC on the enormous cirQlar screen. Surrender to the enchantment of live performances all night and let us shower you with a myriad other surprising delights.
cirQlar & Zero Gravity Circus have gathered favourites near and far to Trip the Light Fantastic for one wondrous and awe-tickled night. This event will see ILL-ESHA (Dub Police/Muti Music/Simplify), JACOB CINO (Third Eye Tribe), JONAH K(Suma/Permanent Damage) accompanied by mesmerising tribal fusion belly dance performances from AKIMI, ZUM ONE (Suma), T-MINUS (cirQlar), KADMON (One Love Movement), SPAZZMONK (Bass Culture), JUSTIN CIDER, MEDICINEMAN (cirQlar/CIUT.fm) JERUS NAZDAQ (Bass Culture), and ROLLIN' CASH (cirQlar).
