Together As One NYE 2024 Set Times and Essential Information

With the 2024 edition of Together As One NYE only days away, EDM Identity has all the info you need to ring in the new year at the WAMU Theater.

Last year, Together As One NYE triumphantly returned after lying dormant for more than a decade. The Washington State New Year’s Eve gathering apparently went well enough that Insomniac decided to keep it going in 2024 — although this year’s edition will see some key changes.

Most notably, it will take place on only one evening: December 31, 2024. It is also moving to the WAMU Theater in Seattle proper, whereas last year’s event was hosted in nearby Tacoma. Finally, whereas last year’s event billed mainstream EDM headliners, this year’s lineup is geared more toward fans of techno, house, and drum and bass.

House heads will surely gravitate to the Peace stage for performances by the likes of Dom Dolla, Armand Van Helden, and Green Velvet. Meanwhile, drum and bass acts like Netsky, Fury, and Metrik will take to the Love stage. Techno fans will delight in the Unity stage lineup, as artists such as Space 92, BLK., and Klangkuenstler appear on the bill.

If you’re in the Pacific Northwest and planning to attend Together As One NYE, make sure you come correct. Read on for set times, festival maps, bag guidelines, and dos and don’ts to have the best time possible at this gathering.
