Countdown to Together As One NYE 2024 – Your Guide to the New Year’s Celebration at WAMU Theater
As the 2024 edition of Together As One NYE approaches, EDM Identity is here to provide all the essential details for celebrating the New Year at the iconic WAMU Theater in Seattle.
Last year, Together As One NYE made a triumphant comeback after a decade-long hiatus. The event’s success prompted Insomniac to continue the tradition in 2024, albeit with some significant changes.
This year, the celebration will be held on a single night: December 31, 2024. The venue is shifting to the WAMU Theater in the heart of Seattle, moving away from last year’s location in Tacoma. Additionally, while last year’s lineup featured mainstream EDM artists, this year’s roster will cater more to aficionados of techno, house, and drum and bass.
House music fans will flock to the Peace stage, featuring artists such as Dom Dolla, Armand Van Helden, and Green Velvet. The Love stage will host drum and bass performances from Netsky, Fury, and Metrik. Meanwhile, techno enthusiasts can look forward to the Unity stage, showcasing talents like Space 92, BLK., and Klangkuenstler.
