Needle Drop to Midnight at Westside Motor Lounge

When New Year’s Eve rolls around, Westside Motor Lounge turns the dial all the way up with a day-to-night celebration rooted in rhythm. On Wednesday, December 31, festivities begin at 12 p.m. with a Widespread Panic Pre-Party hosted by Moontime Market, featuring live performances from the Sam Holt Band and Cameron Williams. As night falls, the energy shifts into a jam like no other as two Atlanta mainstays, Come Together and House In The Park, join forces for a New Year’s Eve bash spanning genres, generations, and two rooms of music. In The Echo Room, Come Together founders DJ Kemit and Salah Ananse take over with all-vinyl sets moving seamlessly through soul, funk, classic hip-hop, house, Latin sounds, and Afrobeats. Over in Idlewild, House In The Park residents Kai Alcé and Ramon Rawsoul deliver deep, soulful selections of house, disco, and Afro rhythms. Inspired by Atlanta’s most cherished dance floors and parties of the past, the night leans into connection over curation—no pretension, just DJs who know how to guide a room and let the music do the talking. Craft cocktails flow, moments are captured at the AFROTOPIA NYE Photo Booth, and a champagne toast at midnight marks the turn of the year. The Widespread Panic Pre-Party is free and open to the public. Tickets for the New Year’s Eve night event are $35 in advance and $45 at the door before 10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here. Westside Motor Lounge is located at 725 Echo Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. Free parking is available. For more information, visit www.westsidemotorlounge.com or call 678-388-9536.
