Better in Colour: A Spectacular New Year’s Celebration in Melbourne

As the clock struck midnight and the New Year dawned, Melbourne welcomed 2024 with an electrifying celebration from, “Better in Colour,” presented by Timelox in collaboration with the vibrant Brunch Affairs and Altitude Group. This unforgettable event attracted a crowd of over 3,000 revellers, turning the St Kilda foreshore into a pulsating hub of fun and entertainment.

The night was made even more special with the presence of notable guests, including Miss Universe Australia runner-up Laetitia Greco. Laetitia said, “The vibe at Better in Colour” was electric. We had the most gorgeous views of the water and epic tunes to close out the New Year. I’m manifesting all good vibes for this year with lots of exciting opportunities and connections.”

Also, in the house was Married at First Sight’s Liam Cooper, and New Zealand’s MAFS’ star turned entrepreneur Samuel Levi.

Samuel said, “I greatly appreciated the overall ambience and vibe, where everyone was present to enjoy themselves and unwind. Over the years this location has served as a remarkable gathering place for my friends and I, with countless memorable experiences each time we visit.

Apart from bringing joy, love, peace, and happiness, 2025 is certainly my year to grow and expand my business ‘LuxeSticks’ even more.”

Adding to the line-up of VIP Guests were The Bachelor’s Tamara Joy and Anastasia Iliopoulos, who brought their charm and excitement to the festivities.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by breathtaking oceanfront views and a stunning sunset that set the perfect backdrop for the festivities. The party unfolded across three spectacular levels, each offering a unique vibe and atmosphere. Over 30 talented DJs took to the decks, spinning tunes that kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. The line-up included local favourites such as Lana, Louis Gilbert, Joe Sofo, Boris Rodman, and Andrej, with special guest DJ Terry adding an extra dash of excitement to the night.

With every beat that echoed through the four venues, the crowd danced with abandon, feeling as if the entire city of Melbourne had gathered on the rooftop to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. As midnight approached, the anticipation was palpable. When the clock struck twelve, a chorus of cheers erupted, and the sky was illuminated with breathtaking fireworks over the bay, creating a magical moment.

The atmosphere was electric as friends and strangers alike united on the dance floor, celebrating new beginnings and the promise of a bright year ahead. The night continued into the early hours, filled with laughter, dancing, and the joy of being together.
