Luvely, Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh, 31 Dec

Running with a 'Back to Skool' theme, one of Edinburgh's longest running mixed gay nights is hitting Hogmanay hard with all elements of uplifting, old skool and euphoric house from resident DJs Tommy Kay and Dean Newton, with Brett King making an appearance. A BBQ on the best smoking area in town will keep you sustained over this fancy dress fest, with laser and pyrotechnic displays brightening up the New Year. [Lara Moloney]
