It’s less than a year until the party of the millennium, and musicians are already lining up gigs. Naturally, it’s time for fans to start making plans for where they are going to be when “the world ends.”

The first place to see the sun rise in the year 2000 is Gisborne City, New Zealand, where David Bowie and Split Enz will be playing a party sure to rock your body.

Bowie will perform at 12:01 a.m. and again at sunrise, during which he will “perform an acoustic millennium song that he wrote for the occasion,” according to MTV News.

In other Y2K news, Phish has decided not to play on Dec. 29, 30, and 31 in Hawaii as originally planned. Promoters said the band is looking for a locality more accessible to their fans, probably in the continental U.S.

Hole plans to share its celebrity skin with Marilyn Manson as the two groups set out on a collaborative U.S. tour later this month. Assuming neither band kills the other, the duet will arrive in the Midwest in April.

Monster Magnet will open for the co-headline tour.
