5FM presents New Year’s Eve To The Power of 5 in Durban

New Venue announced for BLACK TIE & BAREFOOT
What happens when a sexy Black Tie affair hits a wave named D-Rex?

Go to the Wave House this year for 2010’s most explosive New Year’s Eve party on Friday 31 December 2010 – 5FM presents New Year’s Eve To The Power of 5 in Durban | BLACK TIE & BAREFOOT.

“We were forced to move the party from the beach, after we received approval from the local business owners, but... If the Durban council doesn’t want you to party on the beach, we will bring it to you! Wave House offers fantastic facilities to take our world class production, top DJs, and holiday beach energy even higher – just on a different beach, with an enhanced (and air-conditioned), two-level VIP lounge, balcony and private dancefloor,” explains Pieter Rossouw from SaEvents.biz (the producer of Black Tie & Barefoot).

5FM presents New Year’s Eve To The Power of 5 in Durban | BLACK TIE & BAREFOOT will host some of 5FM and South Africa’s top local DJs - including 5FM’s C-Live, Poppy Ntshongwana, Milkshake and Catherine; supported by Coco Loco (Dbn), Martin McHale (Dbn), Shane D (Dbn), DJ Roxxi (Dbn) Kevin Grenfell (Jhb), Stuart Hillary (Jhb) and many more.

Get ready for a pulsating mix of your favourite hits from the year, mixed with the hottest house & hip hop beats to make this a New Year’s Eve beach party like no other!

“I can’t wait to hit Durban on 31 December – how often does a DJ get the opportunity to play right next to the waves, to a rocking crowd on New Year’s Eve?! I can even go for a quick dip between track changes! My black tie is already packed, now I just need to decide what the rest of my outfit is going to be... New Year’s Eve to the Power of 5 in Durban this year! See you there,” says 5FM’s Poppy Ntshongwana.

Wave House Durban boasts the biggest manmade stationary wave in the world – The D-Rex – which is a 10 foot barrelling left and right point break wave. All you need is a black tie to say “Hello” to 2011 at a party that will redefine what it means to celebrate all night with surfers hitting the crashing waves in the background: cocktails, ‘bubbly’, canapés, chic decor, hot party beats and lots more.

The first 3000 guests each receive a complimentary, souvenir-edition black tie on arrival. The dress code requires a “Black Tie” but “barefoot” means that the rest of the code is very much left open to interpretation (or imagination). The luxurious bird’s eye-view VIP area and balcony will be transformed into a stylish lounge space for those who prefer to party in exclusive glamour.

The Trident will be set up right next to the D-Rex as the main dancefloor for this unforgettable New Year’s celebration. This one-of-a-kind mobile/inflatable 1000m2 structure will be transformed into a massive, breathing, pulsating dance floor, with the sound of the breaking waves just a few steps away. Industry insiders worldwide have hailed this unique structure as the “Ultimate Venue” – it revolutionises perceptions around the limits of traditional event spaces and presents striking new opportunities for innovative visual projections, lighting and other special effects.

“New Year’s Eve parties started losing their edge recently, with too many ideas just being duplicated too often everywhere. We are taking it to the next level, and also combining it with the qualities of a beach party that only cities such as Miami and Rio could take credit for... until now! Life’s a beach, put on a black tie,” explains Pieter Rossouw from SaEvents.biz (event producer for Black Tie & Barefoot Durban).

The first-of-its-kind 5FM presents New Year’s Eve To The Power of 5 in Durban | BLACK TIE & BAREFOOT combines the talents of some of SA’s top event producers; it will feature cutting-edge audio-visual effects, world-class production and design, multiple bars, secure and convenient venue facilities (including access for the handicapped), the best music around, and a spectacular New Year’s Eve beach party like no-one has ever experienced before!

“I can’t wait to hit the Durban beach on 31 December – how often does a DJ get the opportunity to play everyone’s favourite tracks, in a spaceship-like inflatable structure right on the beach?! I can even go for a quick dip in the waves between track changes! My black tie is already packed, now I just need to decide what the rest of my outfit is going to be...

“New Year’s Eve parties started losing their edge recently, with too many ideas just being duplicated too often everywhere. It really lost it when people started talking about what an anti-climax New Year’s parties have become. We are taking it to the next level, but also combining it with the qualities of a beach party that only cities such as Miami and Rio could take credit for... until now! Life’s a beach, put on a black tie” explains Pieter Rossouw from SaEvents.biz (event producer for the Black Tie & Barefoot New Year’s Eve beach party).
