It's already the time of year where we're starting to think of what we're going to do/wear for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, it looks like this year is going to be spent with champagne on Zoom. But there is a virtual alternative if, like us, you just can't handle the thought of another video call.
YouTube is providing an alternative to the usual countdown on the telly - sorry, Jools Holland - and hosting a virtual show which is going to be a star-studded combination of live music and comedy.
Interested? Well, the stars of the show include Dua Lipa - who got us through lockdown with Future Nostalgia - and Michaela Coel, who similarly got us through lockdown with I May Destroy You. Other stars include The Duchess' Katherine Ryan, with more music from Anne-Marie, MNEK w/ Joel Corry and Aitch & AJ Tracey. There will also be appearances from Behzinga, Big Narstie, Kurupt FM, Yammy, WillNE, Holly H and Natasia Demetriou.
The show is part of global YouTube Originals ‘Hello 2021’ celebrations premiering on Thursday 31st December - and is available to watch on theYouTube Originals channel.
Luke Hyams, Head of YouTube Originals, EMEA, said: '‘Hello 2021: UK’ offers us a chance to get together, celebrate and look forward to a brighter year ahead with an astonishing array of homegrown and global talent. In many cases, 2020 has also brought out the best in people. We’ve seen online communities coming together like never before to share stories, experiences and learn from each other. It has been a time of compassion and creativity and that’s been reflected in the work that YouTube Originals has been doing this year. '
