The Night Boat to Madness on New Year's Eve (Eve)

The night before New Years Eve ... Tuesday 30 December 2025 ... Baggy Trousers and Brizvegas Cruises bring you the ‘Night Boat to Madness' … our annual New Year music and dancing extravaganza on board the MV ‘Lady in Red’ surrounded by the evening lights of the Brisbane River.

Let Baggy Trousers take you on a journey of forty years of sheer Madness; playing the iconic sing-along songs and many others from 1979 to now. Join us on board for an amazing upbeat party sound, with a packed dance floor and a great feel-good vibe as we cruise the river.

Come on down to the floating ‘House of Fun’, help make the Lady in Red ‘Our House’. Sing along to ‘Wings of a Dove and watch your friends dancing their socks off with the Prince and My Girl … it’s gonna be complete Madness. Join us, pull on your 'Baggy Trousers' and take 'One step beyond' onto the 'Night boat to Madness.

Boarding from soon after 7.10pm at the City River Hub Pontoon near the ‘The Botanic Gardens’ and we get underway at 7.30pm. Get in early it’s going to be a fantastic night of Madness on the River; this 'Party Afloat' invariably sells out fast. Tickets go on sale to the Public on Monday 6th October at 10am through Eventbrite - see you aboard 😁😎BT
