Whether you’re ringing in 2016 with the Disco Biscuits or popping over after another event like Phish at Madison Square Garden right down the block, the perennial jam band has become known for playing for seemingly endless hours of music to celebrate New Year’s Eve. This year is no exception, as the band is slated to perform four nights at the PlayStation Theater in New York, NY from December 30th – January 2nd.
Lots of glorious details have been announced surrounding the four-night stand. Each show has a doors time at 10 PM, except for NYE which will open up at 8 PM, giving fans ample time for late night Biscuits action. The band also announced stellar support throughout the run, including Horizon Wireless on 12/30, Consider The Source on 12/31, Animus Rexx on 1/1, and Soul Clap on 1/2! Tickets are still available here.
Of course, the Biscuits have built something of a New Years reputation throughout the years. On 12/31/99, for example, the band busted out Tchaikovsky‘s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” and the now infamous Akira Jam at the TLA.
In 2002, the band performed a History of the Disco Biscuits set on the E-Factory, including a fan-selected sequence of songs highlighting the band’s growth and evolution. Listen to that whole show below:
How about their exciting “Countdown Medley” featuring 10 different songs mashed-up for their New Years countdown of 2009?
Even last year’s NYE was a rager! Check out this stunning version of the disco classic “A Fifth Of Beethoven” for the celebration:
One way or the other, tDB always find a way to play Santa Claus and deliver the goodies to the Bisco faithful. Tickets to the New Year’s run shows are available here.
