If you were at last year’s SOLD OUT Purple Sneakers New Years Eve you will know that it was just like a huge fun house party at your Mum’s house but with 1,600 party people, a stack of bands, and a sh*tload of party DJs playing across 2 levels, 5 rooms, staircases and balconies of Sydney University’s Manning House until the early hours of 2008.

This year the Purple Sneakers NYE House Party gets bigger and better, the event expands to three levels of Manning House - and for the first time in its four-year history the Purple Sneakers NYE House Party has exclusive international guests playing live as well as an international presenting partner Club NME.

Purple Sneakers NYE House Party presents The Teenagers from France and Frightened Rabbit from Scotland for their only Sydney shows this summer. The Teenagers are one of the hippest party bands in the world, whilst Frightened Rabbit are much loved by Pitchfork, signed to Fatcat Records and have every indie trainspotter drooling over them right now.

Sydney-gone-international stars Sparkadia are the first of the Australian headliners to be announced for the event. Meanwhile, with a few more headliners yet to be announced, we’d like to introduce the future stars of 2009 a few hours early - welcome Yves Klein Blue, teenagersintokyo, The Jezabels, MC Gaff E, and Dept. Joining these acts to make it a PARTY! is a DJ line up including PhDJ, Soft Tigers DJs, Purple Sneakers DJs with many more still to be announced.

With the line-up starting this way Purple Sneakers NYE House Party will be THE most fun party in Sydney this new years. There’s a lot more to look forward to with the announcement of the second set of headliners, supports and DJs still to come… Last year SOLD OUT so get in early!

Excited enough? F#ck yeah!
