New Year’s Day has kicked off with a bang for thousands of concertgoers who have rung in 2022 at the annual Field Day music festival in Sydney.
Revellers came prepared to spend a long day under the sun as they dressed in skimpy outfits and barely-there costumes for the annual summer music festival at the Domain on Saturday.
The event, which has been running since 2002, is an institution in Sydney, particularly among electronic music lovers, who will often have a quiet New Year’s Eve to make the most of the festivities.
Police wore face masks and led sniffer dogs around the grounds as they searched concertgoers who were making their way through the front gates of the ticketed event.
Bikini tops, fishnet dresses and flashy skirts were the choice of outfit for women while shorts and buttoned summer shirts were the style for men as they made their way into the festival to party to the likes of Allday, Masked Wolf, Golden Features and Hot Dub Time Machine.
Some concertgoers opted in for more flashy outfits with one reveller putting a racy twist on a police uniform – pairing what appeared to be a NSW Police Force cap with a bikini top and sheer skirt.
Another chose a fluorescent green fishnet dress while others sported denim shorts and loose and breezy summer tops.
It marks the first time the summer music festival has been held since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic after the event was cancelled last year.

4am kisses, sunrise beers in the surf and using the sand as a pillow: Australia wakes up to 2022 after VERY messy scenes on city streets – here’s the aftermath
Australians have awoken to their first day of 2022 with some nursing sore heads and looking a little worse for wear following a night of wild celebrations to usher in the New Year.
Tens of thousands of revellers were undeterred by rapidly rising Omicron case numbers as they staged wild celebrations across the country with some of the biggest crowds forming in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
In Sydney, organisers were determined to hold the biggest NYE display seen anywhere since the pandemic began, with six tonnes of fireworks deployed – around 2,000 individual fireworks – for a midnight celebration watched by millions worldwide.

Revellers across the nation continued the celebration well into the early hours of the morning with partygoers slowly migrating to Bondi Beach and Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast to watch the sun rise on Saturday.
Crowds slowly began to grow as the weather warmed up and provided the perfect swimming conditions for beachgoers. Hundreds of other residents have chosen to queue at drive-thru Covid-19 clinics as cases continue to surge with NSW breaking another pandemic record and reporting 22,577 new infections.
The wild celebrations took a bigger toll on others with some revellers passing out on the sand as the new dawn rolled in.

Where once a million spectators would gather around the water’s edge to see the city’s world-famous fireworks display, this year’s celebrations were low-key. Husband and wife Diana Mosquera, 32, and Omar Campos, 33, enjoyed getting out of their Sydney home
Others enjoyed quiet drinks and cigarettes with one couple setting up a picnic of fresh strawberries and champagne.
One group of friends decided an early morning dip was the best way to begin the new year as the revellers jumped into the surf while nursing beers.
Revellers who accepted the advice that they were far safer from Covid-19 outdoors than indoors were rewarded with light queues and prime viewing positions for the spectacular show.
Many of those who took up the best spots had come from interstate – particularly Melbourne – as Sydneysiders made the decision to stay closer to home.
