Celebrate the New Year in style with exclusive access to Southbank Centre and a glamorous extravaganza of live music, DJs, dance tuition, entertainment, dining, period cocktails and fireworks.

Returning for a third year after two sell-out spectaculars, A Vintage New Year's Eve Party is back.

In a night curated by Wayne, Gerardine and Jack Hemingway and the Vintage Festival team, Southbank Centre transforms into five floors of set-dressed entertainment including six pop-up Vintage nightclubs, stylish dining, a hair and beauty parlour, photo studios and a private terrace overlooking the Thames, which allows guests to get up close and personal with London's world-famous NYE fireworks.*

Here's a taste of what to expect:

The Torch Club
For one night only, The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall transforms into The Torch Club for an evening of the finest 1930s and 1940s entertainment, curated by Snowboy, and featuring Benoit Viellefon & His Orchestra, the scene's premier DJs and expert dance tuition including light-hearted period party dances like the 'Lambeth Walk'.

Let It Rock
The finest 1950s rock 'n' roll live bands and DJs including the legendary Keb Darge play bopping rockabilly and shuffling rhythm and blues as expert dance tutors, Kav Kavanagh & Suzy Q, keep the floor moving with jive and stroll lessons.

The Soul Casino
The Soul Casino dance floor reverberates to a string of DJs including Dr Bob Jones and Eddie Piller, playing deep funk to northern, rare groove to classic soul, disco, authentic R&B mod sounds and boogie.

The Pick-Up Joint
Outrageous fun, sing-a-longs and unashamed dancing to pop hits that you just shouldn't love in our kitsch themed bar for singles, couples or groups of friends up for letting their hair down. Glide up to the 4th floor of Royal Festival Hall in our Lift of Love, and lose your inhibitions.

The Tiki Bar
'Ready, steady, pop!' Frug, Limbo, Watusi and Twist while looking out over the River Thames on the fifth floor of Royal Festival Hall with the swingingest 1960s pop party on the planet. Martin Green (The Sound Gallery and Smashing) and Martin Karminsky (Karminsky Experience and Blow Up) spin groovy classics, sitar cover versions and boot-fair discoveries while host Count Indigo awards prizes to the most agile, inventive and energetic dancers in the Strictly Go-Go competition.

The Warehouse
A space honouring Britain’s distinctive dance culture and joining the dots between the eccentric fashions, performance art and eclectic music that soundtracked the original 1980s warehouse scene. Travel from the flamboyance of the New Romantics style to the ‘Hard Times’ ethic via bebop berets, zoot suits and Acid House smiley culture. Expect a playlist ranging from Kid Creole to Tom Tom Club and Soft Cell to Depeche Mode that culminates with a full-on hands-in-the-air rave.
