\u201cEveryone just has such a positive attitude to this year\u2019s event, just to get out and get amongst it and enjoy what will be a great night out with friends \u2013 it will sell out,\u201d Mr Pobjoy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really expecting everyone to be in high spirits and it\u2019s going to be an incredibly safe event with a friendly crowd and the whole place will be awash with happy vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n
A star-studded line-up is confirmed with performances scheduled throughout the night with Mr Pobjoy on the piano, Shandelle Cooke singing as well as a trio of drag\u2019s finest. Art Simone, HollyPop and Amanduh will also be gracing The Pier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Music will be requested by visitors on the night between special performances leading up to the crowning moment on the night when the New Year\u2019s Eve fireworks are set off in Corio Bay.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s event is expected to draw in 800 people with tickets already selling fast.<\/p>\n More than half the ticket sales were purchased prior to Christmas Day and the event usually sees a late rush in sales a couple days before the event.<\/p>\n \u201cThis event appeals to a much wider audience compared to our usual events and you get a really good event close to the fireworks,\u201d Mr Pobjoy said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Pier itself is such an iconic part of Geelong\u2019s waterfront so people really do consider it to be a premium destination for New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n \u201cThis event just has an awesome crowd, we\u2019re always taking requests and we get a broad mix of ages, which also makes it fun as well.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/HollyPop_16281.jpeg\")
