JOY ORBISON TO HEADLINE A SECRET INNER WEST WAREHOUSE PARTY THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE

Joy Orbison, highly regarded UK DJ and producer FOLD, and local party pioneers DUNJ come together for a New Year’s Eve takeover of a never-before-used warehouse in Sydney’s Inner West.

This New Year’s Eve, Astral People brings the three acts together for a night built around the music, the people and the excitement of not quite knowing what to expect. No established club, just a new space, a sound system and 2,000 people coming together for the final hours of 2026.

For Joy Orbison, the setting feels fitting. Few artists have shaped the sound of contemporary UK club music with quite the same restless curiosity. Across garage, techno, dubstep, house, grime and hip-hop, the London producer, born Peter O’Grady, has built a catalogue that moves between sounds without ever settling comfortably in one place.

His 2024 track flight fm became a defining club record, its rolling drums, fleeting vocal and seismic bassline distilled into something both immediate and unmistakably his. More than fifteen years after Hyph Mngo first announced his arrival, Orbison continues to make music that feels connected to the underground while finding its way onto dancefloors far beyond it.

That same spirit runs through the night’s supporting artists. FOLD brings a distinctly London perspective to the bill, while DUNJ represents the community-led party culture that continues to give Sydney’s underground its character.
