POPNYE gets a little dubstep

Looking for a way to pass some time pre-POP? Or maybe you’re looking for something to do at work while the boss isn’t looking. Nero have re-created their live rig online, allowing you to listen to their debut album “Welcome Reality” in its entirety and watch all their videos within their towering live rig. You can also play the Nero Arcade Game by clicking on it in the center of the rig. Yes, I said a Nero video game – High score? what’s high score mean??!

#TRANCEWARRIORS UNITE!

What’s better than FERRY CORSTEN and MARKUS SCHULZ? Ferry and Markus combining forces as the epic duo, NEW WORLD PUNX! We figured they would be the best choice to close out the show and ring in the new year in the most trance magical way. You’re welcome Bay Area.

Curious of how NWP came to fruition?
Check out this interview with Markus and Ferry below:

We are excited to announce the complete lineup for this New Year’s Bay Area main event at Oracle Arena. POPNYE will bloom with the sounds of New World Punx (Ferry Corsten & Markus Schulz), NERO, Bingo Players, Madeon and Moguai. RSVP on Facebook here

Back by popular demand!

Tiered tickets are out and general admission is back – We are excited to go back to our old ticketing system this NYE and we hope you are too! All tickets are general admission which allows complete access to the arena and all of its amenities. There is no assigned seating. The great part about the center stage is that it will double the capacity on the floor compared to last POPNYE and will give an amazing view no matter where you are in the arena!

Please note that space on the main dance floor is limited. If capacity is reached in any part of the arena it will be temporary closed off to incoming flow and reopened once space opens up. This process will be monitored closely to ensure the safety of all our attendees.

PLAN AHEAD and catch a ride this NYE!

BART will help you ring in the New Year by staying open three hours later than normal! Normally ending around midnight, BART trains will continue to run until around 3am. Trains will run their normal intervals during the extended hours. The colosseum BART station is located just east of the Oracle Arena and O.Co Colosseum. Walking distance from POPNYE. Please visit BART.gov for more info
