Okada
Okada Manila is pulling out all the stops by ringing in the New Year with four celebrations on its property. Depending on what you want to do to welcome 2025, you can choose between a star-studded concert, a raving dance party, or any of their two fireworks shows:
- A Night of Stars: The Ultimate New Year's Dinner-Concert
This dinner-concert event is headlined by Asia’s Nightingale, Lani MisaluchaZsa Zsa Padilla, Christian Bautista, and Mitoy Yonting with The Draybers. But as if those powerhouse vocals aren't enough, DJ Cammy V is going to drop the beats as the Okada Manila Entertainment Group (OMEG) delivers more performances to keep the energy up as we say goodbye to 2024.
Tickets to A Night of Stars include a sumptuous buffet dinner, along with access to the countdown festivities and performances. Tickets start at P12,000.
- Unleash 2025: Epic NYE Party at Cove Manila
If it's EDM beats over power ballads and neverending dancing over a sit-down dinner for you, then make a detour to Cove Manila instead. Guests 18 and above can dance the night away to beats by DJ Quintino, DJ Phillip Japor, DJ Xiao Yunnah, DJ Arra Gunio, and MC Smurff at Cove Manila's Epic NYE Party. Tickets start at P1,500 with options to upgrade from cocktail tables to couches or cabanas for bigger groups.
- Symphony of Lights: The Fountain's Grand NYE Countdown
If formal sitdown concerts or EDM clubbing are too extreme for you, here's a middle-ground celebration. Symphony of Lights is another New Year's countdown at Okada, but this time by their grand fountain. The night's festivities will be headlined with performances from Darren Espanto and Jona, accompanied by The Flame and the Okada Manila Entertainment Group (OMEG). This free, open-to-Okada-Manila-guests New Year's Eve event culminates with a fireworks display at midnight, illuminating the skies and reflecting on the Fountain.
- Midnight Magic: Fireworks at the Garden
If you like to ring in the new year with a relaxed outdoor celebration under the stars, this one is perfect for you. Gather your friends and family at Okada Manila's The Garden for another set of fireworks displays. Doors open at 8 p.m.
Ayala, Makati
Ring in the new year with the Best of the Best at Ayala Avenue, a grand street party along the 1.9-kilometer stretch. Join the biggest names in OPM as they ring in the silver jubilee of the millennium with a high-energy concert.
Though the full lineup of artists has yet to be revealed, we don't have to ask our magic mirror which P-Pop group that BLOOMED the most this year is heading to Ayala on December 31, 6 p.m.
Nectar
On its last night at its current location, Nectar is bringing out the big guns. Catch performances from Taylor Sheesh, Minty Fresh, and ∅V cünt. Expect nothing less than a closing night and NYE party with a bang from one of the OG clubs for all things drag. Start booking your tables as early as now. Message Nectar Nightclub on Facebook for more details.
Bonifacio Global City
NYE at the 5th is shaping up to be a grand music festival to welcome 2025. This free New Year's celebration in BGC is not only hosting local artists like Sarah Geronimo, Rico Blanco, and Juan Karlos but it's also got performances from K-pop powerhouse ITZY and the soulful synth-pop beats of HONNE.
