Party with the man himself on New Year's Eve at Concord Music Hall
December 20, 2019 (December 6, 2022) // Riot Fest

In less than 24 hours, we’ll roll into a new decade. You’re likely thinking about how your night of partying will go: Did you buy enough chips? Should you get really drunk, or go easy? Don’t you worry, dear RiotFest.org reader, we rang up the King of Partying himself to help you start 2020 off on the best note possible.

Our friend Andrew W.K. has supplied a list of 17 excellent party tips for your New Year’s Eve celebration. He’ll be ringing in the new year with his full band at Concord Music Hall and it’s probably going to be better than any lame party you end up at, so why not get some tickets to that?


ANDREW W.K.’S 17 PARTY TIPS
FOR A GREAT NEW YEAR’S EVE

1. PARTY TIP: Start the night off right by going to the bathroom properly.

2. PARTY TIP: You can’t go to sleep before midnight. Just keep going.
