Party & Bullshit
January 1, 2026

We brought in 2026 with a bunch of legends and some awesome music at The Beachy this year.

That’s right, we packed up the LWA wagon and headed up to Australia’s most popular holiday town and hit its most iconic venue to ring in the new year. And talk about saving the best till last — it was a romper of an evening, complete with a heaving dance floor, loads of crew and quite a few Casamigos tequilas.

Jam Hot Live set the tone with their high-energy, genre-hopping set, flipping classics from Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye alongside modern bangers from Dua Lipa and Bruno Mars. Backed by Animal Ventura, the always-electric Erin Shay Band, and DJ Charles Oliver, the party rolled effortlessly from golden hour deep into the night.

Those who levelled up with the HOUSE OF FRIENDS x THE BEACHY VIP EXPERIENCE were treated like kings and queens for the evening, with private bars, margaritas on arrival and too many other perks to mention. Check out the full gallery above and bring on 2026!
