Wow! The West Coast is in for a treat, with Origin NYE dropping a colossal first line-up to help punters welcome 2017 in rambunctious fashion.

The bass contingent is large: Chase & Status, Lunice and What So Not spearhead the production side of things, while emcees like Denzel Curry, Goldlink and Chicago’s own Chance The Rapper have been billed. Following in the footsteps of his brother Skepta, grime don JME will also be appearing. Oh yeah, did we mention the return of Ryan Hemsworth? That’s just the tip of the iceberg, with Origin promising more line-up announcements – and if you’ve been looking for an excuse to head over to Perth, then we think that this is pretty darn persuasive.

For those outside of Western Australia, this gives us some strong hints as to who’ll be playing at Field Day, Falls Festival and the surrounding events around the 2016/2017 transition. This is looking very, very nice and one hell of a way to kickstart 2017 – see the Origin NYE lineup below and prepare for more announcements as we reach the tail end of the year:
