Buoyed by the overwhelming response to the second edition in 2018, Time Square is bringing back the NYE Block Party for the third instalment to ring in the New Year on 31 December 2019. The 2017 and 2018 parties drew capacity crowds to the state-of-the-art Sun Arena. This year’s event will do the same. Bigger and bolder than last year, the 2019 NYE Block Party, in partnership with MTV, is themed “Get ready. Get amped” and features 10 of South Africa’s best mix masters on the decks.
