On 31 December 2020, Heineken® kept the New Year celebration alive across all Malaysian living rooms with the Heineken® Starclub NYE Live countdown event. The 4-hour livestream party connected over 200,000 Malaysians with high energy performances from Malaysia’s hottest local talents Blink, BATE and Saint Kylo, alongside the international headliner, DJ W&W.
Hosted by Ryan Matjeraie, the Heineken® Starclub NYE Live countdown event was part of the Heineken® aim to #CelebrateTheUsual together, by connecting Malaysians virtually to end the year on a memorable note while partying in the comfort and safety of their own homes. The NYE party kicked-off at 8:30pm on the Heineken® Malaysia Facebook Page with a captivating performance by local live band, Saint Kylo, which featured his smooth vocals and tunes.
Up next, DJ duo BATE, who have over 20 million streams for their first two singles, stepped up to entertain the virtual audience for the next hour, with their exhilarating music and electrifying performance.
DJ Blink, who is widely regarded as one of the forefront of the local DJ culture, then turned up to take the Heineken® Starclub NYE Live countdown event up several notches, bringing explosive beats to the night!
Throughout the party, Malaysians interacted with one another through the LIVE comments section by sending their new year wishes and were treated to RM30 off on drinkies.my all night long. Additionally, 20 Malaysians also walked away with the specially curated Heineken® NYE goodie boxes, featuring exclusive merchandise and Heineken® products.
Just before 11.30pm, the stage was set for the headline act – Dutch DJ duo W&W. The pair of Willem van Hanegem and Wardt van der Harst who rank #14 in 2020’s DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll, brought their signature commercial, big-room house and trance beats to the homes of all Malaysians, as a fitting tribute to the last night of 2020.
“Malaysia, let’s countdown to 2021! Let’s go!” said W&W while ushering Malaysians into the New Year with their highly energetic, one-of-a-kind performance.
As the clock struck 12, Heineken® welcomed 2021 with a compilation of the virtual cheers videos submitted by all Malaysians in the month of December 2020.
