Following the latest government announcement, London remains in Tier 4 and even more cities and counties are going under tougher restrictions, meaning millions of people this year will have to spend their New Year’s Evening at home, tuning in to various livestreams and online celebrations. Moreover, with widespread weather warnings and freezing temperatures expected in the following days, isolated home parties are currently trending as the preferred, and in the fact the only, choice to say goodbye to 2020.

Various DJs, musicians and media outlets are all hosting NYE celebration livestream from various points around the globe. Earlier today, Swedish pop icon Robyn announced she is hosting the exclusive radio show at BBC Radio 6 from 7pm tomorrow. Alternatively, YouTube Originals will broadcast a special stelar virtual show, featuring Aitch, AJ Tracey and Dua Lipa.

With well-established reputation certainly preceding both Annie Mac and Toodla T, their ‘Rave Shed’ NYE party sure sounds like a great option to wave a final goodbye to 2020 and meet the new year in style. In case a night of “classics and party bangers in [their] rave shed at the end of the garden” still isn’t convincing enough, the DJ family are officially supporting the Shelter Charity, donating “as much money as possible” to help people struggling with bad housing or homelessness.

Aside from building a widely acclaimed career as a club DJ, Annie Mac has been a BBC Radio 1 presenter since 2004. Few weeks ago, she shared the Hottest Record of the Year on her ‘Future Sounds’ show. Following a public vote, the most popular song of 2020 was revealed to be the surprising yet powerful collaboration between Bring Me The Horizon and Yungblud for ‘Obey‘. The electric track won against Rina Sawayama’s ‘Bad Friend‘ and IDLES’ ‘Model Village‘ that came the closest amongst the 20 track in the competition.

Alongside her busy personal and professional life as a mother, DJ, radio presenter and host of the podcast Changes, Annie Mac has recently announced her novel ‘Mother Mother‘ will be published soon in 2021 through Wildfire Books. Making the most of being locked down for third time, she has been spending more time writing, with the following personal excerpt shared last week just in time for Christmas.

BBC Radio 6 is just as excited for Robyn to host and when announcing the music style to be expected from the star, BBC Radio 6 explained it as effortlessly cool beats to loud and proud anthems, the Queen of the Sad Bangers takes charge of 6 Music for one night only, and we are delighted to embrace her wild, weird and wonderful world! Robyn’s tendency towards nostalgic and love-sick techno-pop bangers will ring in the new year with exactly the kind of tunes the UK is hungry for leading up to the end of 2020.

Robyn recently reached a milestone in her career in 2020 as her world-wide epochal album Body Talk celebrated it’s 10th anniversary since sale. The platinum hit Dancing On My Own skyrocketed to the top of the charts in the UK in 2010 and surged again many times in the last 10 years leading Rolling Stone and many other acclaimed critics to name it the best song of it’s decade. The celebration of her most successful era of music and the winning of Songwriter of the Decade from NME last month, Robyn has had a monumental 2020 despite the lack of tour-dates or new music.

In 2018 Robyn officially released her critically acclaimed 8th studio album Honey, after first releasing it for the HBO series Girls finale. She then spent the majority of 2019 on tour in Europe, UK and North America. While there has been no new music from the sensational artist in 2020, Robyn has been working as an activist for climate change, attending events and playing shows to raise money and awareness for the global issue.
