New Year’s Eve is one of the most musically diverse evenings around the world. Between that and the holiday season, our heads were spinning at the prospects of what music consume.
Cities from coast-to-coast and beyond played host to an abundance of holiday and New Year’s Eve music events. No matter where you found yourself for that midnight kiss, chances were that you were in the presence of some quality tunes.
Large areas like Southern California, New York City, and Denver made the choice of shenanigans over the holidays difficult, though it was not a bad dilemma to face.
Regardless of where you spent the holidays, you can relive the copious amount of epic performances from all over.
We scoured through thousands of photos and picked some of our favorites from what was a monumental night for the music scene. While we didn’t realize it at the time, SoCal and Denver really threw down hard. Maybe it was just the high quantity of awesome events or the fact that they had sick photographers. Either way, these are the shots that paint a vivid picture of New Year’s Eve.
Take a look at these 30 incredible photos from recent New Year’s Eve events.
