The countdown begins…you look around surrounded by your friends…you feel hopeful that this year will be better than the last. For a moment, time stands still as you think back to all the good and the bad from the past year that led you to this moment.
3… 2… 1… the crowd erupts in cheers. Friends hugging one another and lovers sharing that special new year kiss. You hear your favorite artist wishing you a happy new year. You have a clean slate to promise yourself to another great year. I personally love New Years for that feeling, even better getting to experience this at a music festival. As the year is coming to a close, music festivals are popping up around the country to provide that experiences for you to ring in 2019.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be highlighting the various music festivals around the US that will be happening on or around New Years.
Let’s Talk About OMFG NYE!
OMFG NYE! is the New Years festival being held in San Diego, California. This will be the 8th year that they will be ringing the new year at Valley View Casino Center December 29-31st.
The Lineup
This lineup is pretty stacked day by day. I don’t think there’s a name on here I don’t like and I’ve seen everyone except for Fangs, Lokii, Mitis and Slumberjack. I love a lot of artists on this lineup so there is no going wrong with this festival.
Ticket Information
The interesting thing that OMFG NYE! did was that they sold each day separately and I’m not too sure why. What I mean is they did not sell all of the days together. They also sold for the 30th and 31st first then released the 29th later. I can imagine maybe not everyone was confirmed so they couldn’t announce all at once, but still wanted to get their tickets out their to compete with the other festivals. Unfortunately, the 30th and the 31st are sold out. You can still get tickets for the 29th starting at $67.50. If you were wanting to go the 30th and 31st you probably will have to purchase a ticket from someone.
If you are interested in going to OMFG NYE!, here’s some things to consider:
- The Lineup!: if it’s for you or not
- Tickets: Where can I get a ticket if it’s sold out?
- Travel: Are you willing to travel and how much would it cost (i.e. driving vs. flying)?
- Lodging: Where would you stay and how much would it cost?
I hope this helps! Wishing you an awesome New Years 🙂
