New Years Eve Parties 2022

Sure, we're biased, but Jupiter is absolutely where you should spend your New Year's Eve to ring in 2023. We have not one, but TWO New Year's Eve parties for you to choose from this year! Read on for the biggest event Hey Love has ever thrown, and a chance to see living legend Ural Thomas (& the Pain) bring the noise at Doug Fir Lounge. You really can't go wrong. But yeah, sure, we threw in some other parties too, and if they sound good to you, do it! Before you decide who you're going to smooch at midnight, make sure you...

Ural Thomas & the Pain | Doug Fir Lounge

XRAY.FM Presents: A Two Night NYE Celebration! On December 30 and 31 at 9pm, check out the legendary Ural Thomas and his band, The Pain, as they rock out to ring in the new year. Universally recognized as one of the most exciting singers remaining from the original soul era, 82-year-old Ural Thomas and his band The Pain just released their third LP, "Dancing Dimensions," and they're providing the perfect backdrop to dance your way into 2023. Their opening band, Hillstomp, sounds like a boom box blasting from a shopping cart, which is exactly how we plan to start our next year on planet Earth! Get tickets at the link below.

New Years Eve! | Hey Love

Here are the deets: 8pm, $15 cover (early bird special, $10 cover from 8pm - 9:30, applies to hotel guests all night), featuring 4 DJs (playing on stage in the Superette) from 8pm - 2am (closing at 2am on NYE). With that information in mind, we move on to the emotional description of the event: PURE TROPICAL SLEIGH LOVE BLISS. Get your hot buttered rum, your Rumplemintz espresso drink, your spicy something or other... whatever strikes your fancy, you'll get your dance on, then snuggle up to that special someone. Tickets are first-come, first-served, so we suggest being the early bird this time! This is Hey Love's biggest party of the year. So big that it will inevitably expand to the second floor of Jupiter NEXT. You NEED to be there for this!!!
