New Years Eve at The Met 25th Anniversary Edition

In 1999 on 31st Dec we were preparing for the 1st ever Met Lounge NYE Party as we entered into the new century. We were told that at midnight everything could 'crash' and to expect the worse

In the event, nothing happened apart from we all got drunk and celebrated the start of a new century. Since that year we've celebrated the start of 3 New Decades, and this year we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Met Lounge. 

So, if you're a seasoned New Years Eve regular at The Met you'll know what to expect. If you've never been before then come expecting to hear the very best of Alternative music from the last 25 years - be that Nu Metal / Rock / Indie / Pop Pop or Emo - we'' play it all along with a huge slap of 'Alternative Party Tunes around midnight!

Feel free to get dressed up if you wish - We'll reward Gentlemen coming in Full Evening Dress**and Ladies in full Evening Gowns* with £10's worth of drinks vouchers if you arrive before 10.30pm   

Or simply wear what you feel comfortable in and come down and party for the very last time in 2024 and the very first time in 2025!

To avid any doubt , the dress codes to claim the free £10's worth of drink are as follows

Gents Dress code ** - Black Tie. A "black tie" event is a formal social affair, such as a party, where people wear formal clothes called evening dress. For men, this traditionally includes a dinner jacket or tuxedo with a bow tie, which is where the name for this type of formalwear came from.

Ladies Dress code* An evening gown, evening dress or gown is a long dress usually worn at formal occasions. Such gowns are typically worn with evening gloves. Evening gowns are usually made of luxurious fabrics such as chiffon, velvet, satin, or organza. Silk is a popular fibre for many evening gowns. Although the terms are used interchangeably, ball gowns and evening gowns differ in that a ball gown will always have a full skirt and a fitted bodice, while an evening gown can be any silhouette—sheath, mermaid, fit and flare, A-line, or trumpet-shaped—and may have straps, halters or even sleeves.
