Björk, Uncle Waffles, Skepta & More to Play Apple Music NYE Livestream Events

A crew of heavy hitters will be ringing in the new year on Apple Music, with Icelandic legend Björk, Swazi-born, South Africa-based DJ Uncle Waffles and British grime icon Skepta all set to play livestreamed New Year’s Eve events on the platform this New Year’s Eve.

To start, Apple Music Live: NYE will feature a rare DJ set by Björk, along with Apple Music’s Tim Sweeney and London-based DJ Naina. The performances were recorded at London’s The Cause, an arts and events space that boosts dance culture, local London nightlife, independent business and mental health initiatives.

Listeners can tune into the party starting at 1 p.m. PT on Dec. 31. via Apple Music 1 and Apple Music Club, a new live-hosted radio station launched by Apple Music earlier this month. Sweeney and Naina both serve as guides on the station, offering info on the scene-spanning mixes played on the channel.

Celebrations then continue immediately after with the second annual Apple Music Live: NYE video livestream featuring Uncle Waffles’ and Skepta’s performances at The Cause, starting at 3 p.m. PT on Dec. 31. on Apple Music, and on Apple Music Club and Apple Music 1.

All four mixes will be available to stream in spatial audio exclusively on Apple Music.

The offerings continue with a 24-hour radio takeover featuring exclusive sets from Justice, John Summit, Rüfüs Du Sol, and more, starting at 12 a.m. PT on December 31 on Apple Music Club and Apple Music 1.

This marks the second year Apple Music has offered marquee DJ livestreams to celebrate the new year, with Kaytranada, Peggy Gou and Honey Dijon playing the big show last year.
