Further north in the beachside town of Byron Bay, tens of thousands of eager partygoers enjoyed the second day of the Falls Festival – one of four sister festivals around the country.

With sunshine beaming down on crowds at both festivals, attendees were in buoyant moods and chose some colourful and kooky outfits for the first day of 2018.

Thousands were spotted bringing in the new year with a boogie at Domain, with plenty posing with their pals and partners for a social media photo or two.

With temperature in the city topping at a warm 27 degrees, festival-goers needed no excuse to hydrate with a beverage.

Featuring a mix of local and international artists such as Flume, DJ Snake, Thundamentals, George Maple and Stormzy, the event has become one of the biggest remaining music festivals in Australia. 

While some seemingly plan on partying hard into the evening, others took the opportunity to relax on the grass and in the shadows of the Sydney CBD.

Further north in Byron Bay, revellers showed no sign of slowing down on the middle day of the three-day festival.
