UV-themed New Year's Eve party at Popworld with fluorescent face paint, pop anthems and a midnight countdown.
Popworld is doing a UV rave for New Year's Eve on Thursday 31 December, and it's one of those nights where the dress code actually matters. They're turning the place into a UV playground, which means the whole room will be lit up with blacklights, and they'll have fluorescent face paint on hand to get everyone glowing. The music is pop anthems throughout, so it's the kind of night built for singing along rather than standing still.
If you're going, the best thing to wear is white and neon. Under UV lights, white pops and neon colours glow, so the more you lean into it, the more you'll stand out on the dance floor. It's a good excuse to dig out something bright you'd never wear on a normal Tuesday night. Between the lights, the face paint, and the pop hits, the whole thing is geared towards the dance floor, and you'll be dancing right into 2027.
When midnight hits, there's a countdown and confetti to mark the start of the new year, so you can see the clock hit zero without having to leave the room. It's a straightforward way to ring in the new year without needing to coordinate a separate party or a big dinner first.
