We are delighted to announce details of our "Celebrating the end of the decade" Hogmanay party. Once again we will be taking over The Fruitmarket and are already working on presenting our most ambitious event yet, with the best lighting and production of any event in the city. Guaranteed!
As we leave the 2000s, we felt that it was a good idea to celebrate some of the immense talent that has come out of our fine city in recent years and invite some of the best artists this city has produced to come and perform. After all, nobody knows how to entertain a Glaswegian audience on Hogmanay as well as somebody local.
We are delighted to have Hudson Mohawke joining us in the main room. He is one of the most talented artists Glasgow has produced in recent years and has just released an acclaimed album on Warp. Mr. Mohawke is also a phenomenal dj who definitely knows how to get a party started. He is set for great things in 2010 and will be kicking off proceedings on the night.

We always try to find an artist who will offer maximum entertainment at Hogmanay so we have asked former Glaswegian resident Drums Of Death to come and perform. Fresh from touring with Hot Chip and producing Peaches, he will be rocking his full voodoo-zombie set up and will bring a bit of full on RAVE to the proceedings.

For the first time, we will have a stage set up in the bar area. There won't be music throughout the night but there will be two live performances by two artists who played two of the best shows at the club this year - local Nae Wave heroes and current NME darlings (though we won't hold that against them) Divorce and one man disco industry and performer extraordinaire, The Niallist.

JD Twitch and JG Wilkes will of course be hosting proceedings throughout the night and bringing in the bells.
Please note that this year the Fruitmarket have agreed to let us use the balcony once again. Doors will be opening at 10.00pm and the night will collapse in a heap at 4am.
There will be a free download coupon given out on the night for an Optimo faves of 2009 90 minute mix.
