If you are planning to send it off with a blast at your New Year's Eve party, the ABC has you covered with fireworks at 9pm and midnight, (AEDST) live from Sydney Harbour.
Hosts Charlie Pickering, Zan Rowe and Jeremy Fernandez, will have all Australians dancing with NYE2021: Let's Celebrate!
The show will be broadcast from the Sydney Opera House, with an all-star line-up including Tina Arena, Missy Higgins, Casey Donovan, hip hop sensation Genesis Owusu, Budjerah, Gordi (pictured), Tyne James Organ, breakthrough electronic music duo Shouse, and country music favourites Beccy Cole and Adam Harvey.
Adding to this stellar line-up will be additional performances from some very special guests, still to be announced.
The celebrations kick off with a family-friendly show, hosted by Indigenous actor Hunter Page-Lochard and Chenelle Carr (The Wonder Gang) culminating in a special 9pm fireworks and Welcome to Country.
From 9.15pm the perfect soundtrack for your New Year's Eve celebration begins.
There will be a special thank you to all frontline workers, and a shout out to the "coathanger" as The Sydney Harbour Bridge marks its 90th birthday along with Aunty ABC.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with the City of Sydney to bring Sydney's showstopping fireworks to the rest of the country and the world," says director of regional and local Judith Whelan.
"We hope all Australians can tune in to ABC and celebrate this extra special night with us."
The firework displays will be audio described for the vision impaired and available on the ABC listen app.
