Elrow Sydney XXL will make its debut this year, after its planned 2025 launch was cancelled following the terror attack at Bondi Beach, which killed 16 people, including one of the two alleged attackers, and injured dozens more.

Last week, Fuzzy CEO Adelle Robinson said: “The Fuzzy team includes many people who live in and love Bondi, so getting the chance to bring NYE to our backyards is truly special. After not being able to deliver the event last year, we promised the community a chance to come back together again – and that time has come.
“Elrow is an internationally renowned celebration of self-expression, joy and community. A perfect party to bring to our Bondi. We’re proud to be working with Waverley Council to also offer residents a free family-friendly event at Locals Lawn, with roaming performers, food and activities right up until the 9pm firework display.”
Ticketholders from the cancelled 2025 event will be given priority access to this year’s festival, with the ‘2025 Ticketholder First Access’ ballot opening at 12pm on Thursday, September 17th.
A locals presale will begin at 10am on Wednesday, September 30th, followed by the general presale at 12pm. Tickets will then go on sale to the general public at 12pm on Thursday, October 1st. All times are AEST.
