NYE in the Park - Becca Hatch
New Year’s is coming and we can’t wait! NYE in the Park is the only festival taking place in Sydney on NYE and after attending last year’s event, trust us when we say this is one crakka of a party. The line-up for NYE in the Park includes Australian and International artists and bands, many of who have been on tour overseas, and are returning for the Harbour city’s best New Year’s event. MFA caught up with some of the line-ups to ask them about NYE in the Park, what fans can look forward to and who’s set they’re most keen to watch. Next on the list is the sensational songbird, Becca Hatch.
You are one of the Artists confirmed to perform at NYE in the Park, the only festival event happening in Sydney on NYE. Are you excited to be a part of this celebration to welcome in the new year?
YES! This is myfirst-everr New Year’s Eve Festival, so I’m super keen to be playing in my city alongside a stunning lineup of acts.
NYE in the Park is a long-standing event with a diverse bunch of attendees, set in the middle of the harbour city. Have you participated before and if not what are you anticipating?
I haven’t participated before, so I’m really excited to see what the vibe is like. I’m definitely keen to see a bunch of the local acts and DJs - I think they’ll bring heaps of energy and make it a really sick night. I think people are still recovering from the lockdown New Year’s Eve and need to turn up, and I reckon we can make that happen for them.
How do you prepare yourself for a festival event like NYE in the Park?
I have a live set and a DJ set - I’m doing a live set with my band for this one so it’s going to be a few days of rehearsals. I’ve been lucky to perform over 30 shows this year so I think I got this!
“I might be bringing a special guest through to play an unreleased track coming out very soon, but you’ll have to be at the set to know.”
What can punters expect from your upcoming performance at this New Year’s Eve event? Any surprises planned?
Honestly, I’m really looking forward to playing cause I have a full band for this show, and every time I play with the band the energy is always UNMATCHED and it gets me super hype. In terms of surprises, I might be bringing a special guest through to play an unreleased track coming out very soon, but you’ll have to be at the set to know.
Apart from your own, who's set are you most looking forward to seeing played at NYE in the Park?
Definitely Rico Nasty! I have been a huge fan of hers for the longest time so super keen to watch her play live. Another person I’m keen to watch is grentperez! His voice and energy is just so angelic and I feel like his performance will be wholesome af, so I’m keen to see him play live.
If you could collaborate with any artist from this great line-up, who would it be and why?
Man, it’s gotta be Rico. I love how she’s not afraid to express herself and create freely. She’s also just HARD as shit.
“STAY SAFE, STAY HYDRATED & STAY TURN TF UP”
What does a normal NYE look like for you? How do you usually ring in the New Year?
NYE for me is always surrounded by my friends, good music and good vibes. I usually go with the flow and find myself wherever the vibe takes me whether it’s a house party or a bush doof. Then at midnight my family and friends call each other and put our manifestations out into the universe.
What is your message for everyone who's coming to NYE in the Park?
STAY SAFE, STAY HYDRATED & STAY TURN TF UP
