Can you believe it's December already? They say time flies when you're having fun, and that old adage rings true as we approach the end of the year. It's sure been a fun one in the live music world, with the final Dead & Company tour, the return of Pretty Lights, the debut of the Sphere, and so much more.

Here at CashorTrade, we've been helping people #EmbracetheFace along the way and we're looking forward to closing 2023 out with a bang. Without further adieu, here are the top places to ring in the New Year with some live music.

Phish at MSG

Kicking off our list is the City That Never Sleeps. While a million people will crowd into Times Square, we all know the real party is actually inside Madison Square Garden. That's where the Phish from Vermont will once again close out the year with a 4-night run from December 28 to 31.

This is familiar territory for the band, as MSG is far and away their most played venue. It's been a great year to be a Phish fan, and the excitement is high for another NYE run in the World's Most Famous Arena. Don't be left standing out in the cold and grab your tickets from another fan to join the fun.

There are plenty of chances to get the party started early or keep it going til the wee hours of the morning. The list of pre-parties and after parties is impressive, including the Disco Biscuits, Dogs in a Pile, Pink Talking Fish, and a supergroup of Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline. Click here for a full list and be sure to keep an eye on CoT for tickets.

Gov't Mule in New York

That's not all that's going on in NYC, though. Gov't Mule is also ringing in the New Year in the Big Apple. Their much anticipated two-night run at the Beacon Theater takes place December 30-31 and it's several years in the making. These are sure to be special shows, so grab your tickets and come rock out to end the year.

Widespread Panic and STS9 in Atlanta

Let's move this party down south, where live music fans have several options for celebrating NYE in Atlanta. Jam rock legends Widespread Panic return to the historic Fox Theater for a 3-night run from December 29-31.

It's always a hot ticket when WSP plays in Georgia for New Year's, so you'll definitely want to set those alerts on CoT if you're still ISO. Remember that gold members get early notifications, so this is one of those runs where it can really come in handy.

They're not the only hometown heroes playing in town, as Sound Tribe Sector 9 has a 3-night NYE party of their own over at The Eastern. The vibes will surely be through the roof as they finally return to Atlanta for another New Year's throw down.

For the second year in a row, Billy Strings heads down to the Big Easy for an end-of-the-year bash. They'll be hitting the stage at UNO Lakefront Arena from December 29-31 to cap off what's been a huge year for the band.

On the heels of a marathon wrestling-themed Halloween show and a successful European tour, Billy and the boys are absolutely cooking right now. Fans who make the trip down to New Orleans are surely in for a treat.
