Countdown NYE is set to be an out-of-this-world experience, so make sure you’re prepared for the invasion with all the important details.


Life has changed ever since the aliens decided to invade Southern California on New Year’s Eve years ago at Countdown NYE. While this might seem like a frightful experience filled with unknowns, these extraterrestrials are really just looking to throw one of the biggest parties on the planet to help ring in the new year, and they’ve consistently done so in style. This year will see Countdown NYE return to the NOS Events Center on December 30-31 for another round of cosmic beats and insane production as the final hours of 2022 tick away – and it’s shaping up to be one of the best yet.

Artists set to take the stage at Countdown NYE this year include massive names like deadmau5, Madeon, ZHU, and Zedd, and there are plenty of other stunners that range from FuntCase and SIDEPIECE to VNSSA and Jason Ross, who are all sure to deliver some heat. Additionally, the festival will host its very own afterparty for the first time ever, giving attendees the chance to keep the party rolling strong into the early hours of New Year’s Day.

To help you navigate the Countdown NYE experience and have a great time closing out your year, we’ve compiled all the essential information you need to know before you dance with the aliens. Check out the set times, festival map, what not to bring, and more – and make sure to let us know if you’re attending this festival on Twitter!

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings:

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses, and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting party-goers, and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Countdown NYE.
