About Underworld

A New Year's Eve set from a band whose name has become shorthand for a certain kind of euphoric electronic music, the kind built for crowds counting down to midnight. Expect pounding basslines and tracks that build slowly before breaking wide open, the sort of music made for outdoor gatherings in the cold and dark.

Playing on this specific night gives the set a different weight than any club date could carry, with a whole crowd waiting for one moment together. Layers are essential, as is patience for the crush before the countdown.

Where to stay nearby

Edinburgh itself is by far the easiest base, putting you within walking distance of the event with the widest choice of hotels and nowhere far to travel once the night is over. Ratho and Queensferry sit roughly 12-13km out and offer a smaller, quieter set of options, useful if the capital is fully booked over the New Year period, though you'll want to sort out transport back into the city in advance given how busy the roads and public transport get on the night. Booking early matters more than usual here, since New Year's Eve in Edinburgh draws visitors from well beyond the city.

Edinburgh — about 0 km away

Edinburgh puts you at the heart of things—the venue is right here, so you can walk to most events and spend your time exploring the Old Town, the waterfront, or the galleries and restaurants scattered throughout. With 280 hotels in the city, you'll find options for every budget and style.

Ratho — about 12 km away

Ratho, 12km away, is a village to the southwest offering a more peaceful base. You'll need a car or regular bus service to reach the city centre venue, but it can suit those who prefer countryside quiet and don't mind a short journey in.

Queensferry — about 13 km away

Queensferry, 13km north of the venue, is a historic harbour town on the Firth of Forth. Like Ratho, it's best reached by car or local bus, and works well if you want to combine an event visit with exploring the famous bridges and waterfront scenery.
