Tasmania's Taste of Summer

Tasmania’s Taste of Summer is a celebration of lutruwita/Tasmania’s culinary heritage and natural bounty.  Held on the waterfront of nipaluna/Hobart, for almost forty years Taste has brought together the finest artisans and makers from right across the island to showcase our unique way of life, culture and community, and world-class produce. 

NEW YEARS EVE 
This New Year's Eve, Australian rock legends Hoodoo Gurus will perform live on stage at Tasmania’s Taste of Summer.  With sold out tours right across the world, the multi-platinum rockers will celebrate New Year's Eve in nipaluna/Hobart with their ARIA chart topping hits including What's My Scene, Wipeout! and Come Anytime.

New Year’s Eve at Tasmania’s Taste of Summer promises to be an evening packed with fun and entertainment for the whole family, and arguably the best vantage point on the waterfront to watch the City of Hobart fireworks displays!

Gates open at 6pm and last drinks called at 1am, with gates closing at 1.30am.

NYE event ticket includes entry to the venue, access to over 75 Tasmanian food and drink producers, a spectacular line-up of musicians and entertainers including headline act HOODOO GURUS supported by local all-female rock cover band VIXXIN and internationally renowned Tasmanian DJ Hugo Bladel plus many more… as well as prime waterfront views of the City of Hobart fireworks displays to ring in the New Year. 

Adult NYE tickets also include a glass of Clover Hill Sparkling for arrivals between 6pm-7pm.
