The biggest New Years Eve party in the UK returns to Rock City, Stealth & Rescue Rooms to bring in 2011. Having sold out for the last 2 years, the line up for this year’s Countdown is second to none. With several of the biggest nights in Nottingham on board to provide 7 arenas of music, for 4,000 people, running from 8.30 till 6am and with Funktion One sound throughout this promises to be an epic New Years Eve celebration!

Chase & Status headline the Rock City main hall bringing in the New Year with an exclusive midnight set. 2010 has been massive for these guys and with a sell out UK tour and several top 10 singles under their belt they’re due to drop their 2nd album in January 2011. Danny Byrd also plays Rock City after a string of massive singles and his recent ‘Rave Digger’ LP on Hospital. Goldie’s love of Rock City dates back to his breaking days as a young graff artist. The multi talented Metalheadz boss will be keeping it strictly Drum & Bass this NYE. DJ Friction will be providing one of his legendary 3 deck sets, and Shy FX will be showing why his renowned as one of the best party DJ’s around. Dutch D&B exports Black Sun Empire round off the Rock City line up.

Upstairs in Stealth features the finest in House & Techno courtesy of Fake Blood who is capping off his biggest year yet with a headline slot, alongside 'Crackhouse' superstar DJ Zinc and new signings to Trouble & Bass – the mighty Tomb Crew!

Benga headlines the Rescue Rooms with guests including Scratch Perverts, Mistajam and Instra:mental alongside a 2hr set from himself with Pokes and Youngman MC hosting. Having been on road with his live act Magnetic Man for the last couple of months, he's keen to get back on the decks, and this one of only 2 gigs he’ll be doing this NYE.

Basslaced host the dubstep arena with Nottingham favourite and Rinse FM representative Plastician bringing in the new year. Also playing is his Rinse FM colleagues N-Type and Youngsta. Emalkay is on the verge of releasing his debut LP with Zane Lowe debuting the first single last week – he’ll be playing cuts from his new album. Also signed to Caspa’s Dub Police imprint are The Others who round off the dubstep line up.

Cult and Mimm clash with a line up representing some of the hottest producers in bass music and the deeper end of D&B. Doc Daneeka and XXXY represent Mimm, whilst Alix Perez, Spectrasoul and subtitles new boys Ulterior Motive roll out the darker side of D&B.

The guys from Twisted Hearts Club are hosting the lower room of Stealth – turning the space into 'Toybox' the magical wonderland, which features DJ Mag coverstars Hot City alongside Toybox residents and local talent Lost Boyz Djs.
