What is Eternal NYE 2026?

Eternal NYE 2026 is a two-night New Year's Eve music festival on Wednesday, December 30 and Thursday, December 31, 2026, at the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, Florida. It is produced by Sacred Hive and Primal Productions MGMT, and the official site calls it the country's only outdoor EDM festival on New Year's Eve with full-scale fireworks. Every festival ticket is 18+, and the official ticket shop lists doors at 1pm.

The official site has published its full 2026 lineup and says it is 41 artists across two nights and two stages. KNOCK2 headlines December 30, and Zeds Dead closes December 31 with what the festival calls their last festival set before hiatus. RL Grime and LSDREAM are also billed as headliners, with BOLO, Dr. Fresch, EPROM, Habstrakt, NGHTMRE, Space Laces, Zomboy and many more on a bill the site describes as bass, dubstep and everything in between. The festival's About page says this year it expands to two stages and adds twenty-four more artists. Set times are not published yet; the full list is on the official lineup page.

The official general admission page lists a midnight fireworks show on New Year's Eve, live painting and graffiti, art installations and photo spots, lasers, bars across the grounds, food and craft vendors with vegan and healthier options, and multiple restrooms and water refill stations. VIP adds fast-track entry, an elevated viewing platform, a hosted lounge, a private VIP bar, VIP-only restrooms, premium food vendors and a hosted midnight champagne toast for guests 21 and over, plus entry to the AFTERS at no extra cost.

Travel & Planning Guide

Eternal NYE is held at the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32808. The official travel page says the fairgrounds sit just off W Colonial Dr, a short drive from downtown Orlando, and that Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the closest major airport, with rideshare and rental cars available on arrival. The festival has not posted parking details on its own pages yet, so check the official travel page before you drive.

The official lodging partner is the Crowne Plaza Orlando Downtown, 304 West Colonial Drive. The travel page says one-, two- and three-night stays are available in five room types, booked through the official ticket shop. The primary guest must be 21+ with a valid photo ID at check-in. Package guests get on-site concierge desks for Eternal and Front Gate, optional discounted self-parking at $15 a day (official Front Gate hotel package pages, checked 29 Sep 2026), and courtesy shuttles from the hotel to the venue on a first-come, first-served basis. Festival tickets are sold separately, except in the ticket + hotel bundles.

First-timer tip: the festival's own travel advice is to arrive early to avoid the pre-countdown rush. No camping is listed; the official shop sells only 2-day passes, hotel packages and ticket + hotel bundles. Decide how you are getting home after midnight before you head out, whether that is a rideshare or a sober driver; the official hotel packages list courtesy shuttles from the hotel to the venue only, first come, first served. Bring your photo ID.

What to Know Before You Go

🎆
Be In Place For Midnight

The New Year's Eve night ends the year with a midnight fireworks show, and Zeds Dead closes December 31 with what the festival calls their last festival set before hiatus. Pick your spot and meet your group well before the countdown.

🧥
Layer Up For Cool Nights

The official travel page says Florida December nights run cool after dark. Bring a layer you can dance in, or one you can tie around your waist when the crowd warms up.

🪪
Bring Your ID

Every festival ticket is 18+, and the travel page asks you to bring a valid photo ID for entry and any on-site purchases. The VIP champagne toast is 21+.

🎟️
Buy Early, From The Official Shop

Tickets are sold in tiers on the official Front Gate shop, and later tiers cost more: on 29 September 2026 it listed 2-Day GA at $251.45 (Tier 2) and $273.45 (Tier 3). Layaway lets you spread the cost.

🚗
Arrive Early, Plan The Ride Home

The festival's travel advice is to arrive early to avoid the pre-countdown rush. Sort out your ride home before midnight. If you book an official hotel package, courtesy shuttles run from the Crowne Plaza to the venue, first come, first served.

Protect Your Hearing

Two nights of bass and dubstep adds up. Pack earplugs, take breaks away from the speakers, and refill your water at the refill stations between sets.
