A very special 12 hour party over 4 rooms in the ABERCROMBIE and BAR FREDA’S.
Headlining New Years Eve will be Melbourne-born, Berlin-based selector and producer TORNADO WALLACE, who has spent two decades slinging house, left-field pop and ambient techno across all corners of the globe. He will be playing a 3 hour set to see in 2026 taking us on a sonic journey, part escapist, part expansive and a little bit psychedelic.
Co-headlining and closing out the party with a 3 hour sunrise set will be Sydney’s own audio architect - ANDY GARVEY. A mainstay of the local dance music community as a DJ, producer, radio host and head of the label Pure Space, Andy has spent the last few years living in Berlin bringing her sound to dancefloors across Europe. She’s known for weaving dark-textured techno, electro and introspective rhythms and we can’t think of anyone better to close out the party.
Fresh from being booked to play Dekmantel Selectors, we are excited to welcome Japanese-born, Berlin-based COURTNEY BAILEY. A party organiser turned producer / DJ who balances mid-tempo burn with acid-tinged poise. Her 2023 EP Soleil (Hole & Holland) and 2025 release I Wanna Feel You (Animals Dancing) showcase her experimental yet dance-savvy style.
Sydney-based selector and producer BEN FESTER has been quietly carving his path since the mid-2000s. Resident Advisor describes him as “the kind of music you’ll probably never hear” — and that’s the charm. He’s been a fixture across Australia’s more hidden outposts and underground rooms, bringing a mix of left-field, instinctive grooves that reward the late-night loyalists.
Art-maestro and dance-floor provocateur DJ CRABBY (aka Carla Uriarte) has merged her background in visual arts with a wickedly playful DJ style. As one of the Arts and Music Programmers behind the Abercrombie and Bar Freda’s - she knows every corner of the venue better than anyone and hence knows exactly what to deliver and when - both sonically and visually.
Sydney’s veteran selector SIMON CALDWELL has been spinning records since the early 1990s and remains delightfully un-pigeon-holed. With 30+ years of records behind him, he has deep ties to multiple Sydney venues and collectives, foremost being his own seminal night Mad Racket.
Sydney-based ARI KIKO is one of the city’s ascending voices, bringing fresh energy, club-aware instincts and a hunger for the dancefloor. Her recent line-up appearances and trajectory proves she’s undoubtedly moving fast in the local scene. Ari brings a certain type of fun and infectious energy to her sets that is hard to look past.
FIG JAAM has been steadily building a name — and a community — one dance floor at a time. As both a party and DJ collective, their sets balance atmosphere and intention, bridging that sweet spot between club precision and communal warmth. With an instinct for pacing and a knack for emotional momentum, Fig Jaam crafts the kind of moments that feel less like a set and more like a shared arrival.
Sydney-based DJ and radio host, ADI TOOHEY splits her energy between airwaves and club floors, bringing jazzy house and deep grooves to her sets. Her movement through both international rooms and local communities means she arrives with both polish and connection — she’s got the right sound for every moment.
Filipino-Australian and Eora-based, MINA TONIC fuses classical musical training with club instincts, moving between rich textures and floor momentum. Her growing profile in Sydney’s scene, both as a DJ and for her Danza parties, is built on musical depth and inclusive energy — great for those times when the floor wants to feel emotional but still move.
A cornerstone of the Freda’s dancefloor DNA, DJ SALAMI is the connective thread — curator, selector and community keeper that ties it all together. His DJ sets are few and far between these days, as he’s been preoccupied programming, designing and re-working every corner of the Abercrombie and Bar Freda’s - only pulling out the stack of gold he’s sitting on for worthy occasions, and this NYE at Delirious is certainly one of those.
FLING curated by Izzy Feek, producer of FBi Radios Culture Guide, is a multi disciplinary event and collective incorporating art, music, and performance. We are very excited to have Fling host our Chill Out Room for New Years Eve!
