NEW Year's Eve has become synonymous with parties and incredible fireworks displays around the world.
Coronavirus hindered last year's celebrations with London among those to cancel its plans – but where are the fireworks going off as we see in 2022?
Are any New Year's Eve fireworks displays taking place tonight?
London WILL have its annual New Year's Eve fireworks display tonight, after The Sun exclusively revealed that it returns despite initially being cancelled in October.
The event will also include music from superstars like Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa, along with messages from Gareth Southgate and Sadiq Khan among others.
The New Year will be rung in with more incredible drone displays – after they memorably depicted 2020's key moments this time 12 months ago.
BBC One will also show a broadcast special that will see performances from Years & Years and The Pet Shop Boys among others.
Elsewhere, Peaky Blinders Manchester is rewinding back to the 1920s with a New Year’s Eve event chocked full of the famous “Great Gatsby style” and prohibition cocktails.
For those in Birmingham, lucky ticketholders will enjoy a night of music as Symphony Hall hosts a New Year’s Eve Gala with the London Concert Orchestra.
