909originals’ guide to the best New Years Eve livestreams…

Let’s face it, the start of next year isn’t exactly going to be a walk in the park, but when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, it will at least bring an end to the annus horribilis that was 2020. And given the wealth of options when it comes to NYE livestreams, there’s no reason not to dance into 2021 with your head held high. 🙂
Here’s our guide to the best New Years Eve livestreams from across the dance music spectrum.
