Heroes at the Middle East, 472 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge
There’s always a chance you’ll walk into a club on New Year’s Eve and hate the DJ. Not at Heroes, the long-running new wave, punk, and dark retro party headed up by veteran DJ Chris Ewen, who has kept our underground dance caves sweaty for decades. Expect deeper cuts than your usual ’80s party, and their annual white trash buffet is a nice consolation when you realize no one wants to dance with you to Ultravox or B-Movie.
Doors are at 9 p.m., this is a 21-plus party, and tickets are $20.
