As the sun sets on 2025, there is one place in Perth where the vibes are high, the drinks are cold and the dance floor is guaranteed to be pumping! Looking for the perfect spot to ring in 2026 with your squad? This New Year’s Eve, the iconic Mustang Bar in Northbridge is turning into a coastal paradise for their Beach Bums & Beach Babes extravaganza!

The Main Event: Beach Bums & Babes NYE
Forget the stiff suits and formal gowns, this year is all about the beach! The Mustang is encouraging everyone to cool off and dress up. Think cute cossies, your loudest Hawaiian shirts or even your best Baby Shark tribute. Best of all? There are prizes for dressing up, so make sure you go all out for a chance to win while you toast to the new year!

A Powerhouse Musical Lineup
The Mustang Bar is legendary for its live music and New Years Eve 2025 is no exception! They’ve curated a lineup that bridges the gap between classic rock ‘n’ roll and modern floor-fillers. Kicking things off at 7 PM with a band that has serious pedigree, The Crawdads were even name-dropped by Johnny Marr (The Smiths) as the cool cats of the scene. Expect world-class musicianship and a rockin’ start to the night. Taking you through to the countdown and into the early hours of 2026 is Milhouse. A high-energy 5-piece group that specializes in Top 40 hits, rock and pop classics. With DJ James MacArthur keeping the energy peaked until 3 AM, you won’t want to leave the dance floor.

While NYE is set to be massive, the Mustang Bar is a vibe all year round. Known for its American-style sports bar feel, incredible acoustics and friendly staff, it truly is the heartbeat of Lake Street. If you haven’t been lately, here is what you’re missing on their rotating weekly calendar:
Get your groove on every Tuesday for Salsa night or check out Wild West Wednesdays and saddle up for Perth’s biggest mid-week party. Featuring live country-rock, $5 burger deals, pool competitions and even a $100 door prize! On Fridays and Saturdays the stage stays hot with rotating local bands and DJs playing everything from 50s Rockabilly to modern Top 40. There’s something for everyone!

Ready to dive into 2026? Grab your board shorts and your best mates and head to The Mustang Bar this New Year’s Eve! The party starts at 7 PM and finishes well into the next morning at 3 AM. This is one party you don’t want to miss!
