The best Hottest 100 parties in Sydney

The Great Club in Marrickville will be hosting a free JJJ Hottest 100 party in their carpark. Celebrate the countdown with a local brew and a delicious Greek-Aussie fusion feed from Yia Yia's Dive Bar & Kitchen. Cool off in the kiddy pool (if you're game?), and if you're feeling competitive, take part in the handball comp. Once the countdown wraps up, live DJs will keep you dancing with tunes inside the club. Even though it's free, they'd like you to RSVP here.

Starts 11.30am, Saturday, January 27

The rooftop of this much-adored Darlinghurst drinking palace is offering a Chinese-food-fuelled, altruistic take on the Hottest 100 countdown party. As the biggest songs of the year are blasted through the speakers, share plates of prawn wontons and plump roast duck, and stay hydrated with frozen cocktails. Taphouse will donate $1 from each cocktail to Triple J’s charity partner Headspace, so it’s indulgence you can feel good about. Entry is free, but you’ll want to book a table over here.

Starts 12pm, Saturday, January 27

If you like it loud, count down from the Lansdowne. They'll be broadcasting the Hottest 100 from 12pm, with $15 jugs of beer all day and all night long. They'll continue after the top tune is announced, with rotating DJs playing your favourite Aussie music until late. Free entry.

Starts noon, Saturday, January 27

No matter what's on, a day at the PHP is always a good time. Their Hottest 100 Listening Party will be a low-key affair that's all about drinking beers (or cocktails) in the garden while celebrating Australia's top tunes. Free entry, but we'd recommend booking a table to snag a spot, here.

Starts noon, Saturday, January 27

The ceiling can't hold you on Taylor’s Rooftop, up on the fourth floor of the Republic Hotel. They'll be counting down with a listening party all arvo, with DJs until late and their signature cocktails on high rotation. Entry is free, but you might want to book a table over here.

Starts noon, Saturday, January 27
