Raise a glass and toast to 2009 with family and friends at Indy's largest and loudest New Year's Eve party, the fifth annual New Year's Eve Rock 'N' Roll Ball at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis - Wednesday, December 31st from 8 pm to 2:30 am.

Unlike most New Year's Eve parties, the Rock 'N' Roll Ball gives people a variety of different environments to explore and connect with - creating a truly unforgettable experience. The annual affair boasts three live music stages, a comedy stage, a huge dance floor, spellbinding DJs and even a fantasy casino. "My number one goal in booking entertainment," says Rock 'N' Roll Ball executive producer Tom Neubauer, "is to reflect the strengths of the city, culture and people."

Continuing to grow each year (the event is now in three Midwest markets: Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit, with plans to expand), this year's celebration is presented by X103 alt-rock radio and features:

Heartland rocker Henry Lee Summer and Duke Tumatoe (of REO Speedwagon fame) co-headlining the Grand Ballroom, where classic Indy rock and blues always rule!

Hometown favorites The Why Store, The Don Stuck Band, Healing Sixes (hot off their newly-released single, "Fine Time," featuring blues virtuoso Joe Bonamassa on guitar), and DJ Brian Jackson live on the Atrium Stage - the heart of the action!

Midwestern rootsy rockers, The Elms (hot off their hit new single, "This is How the World Will End), and DJ Helicon (of Mudkins fame) live on the hip & edgy Cosmopolitan Stage

The always-entertaining / schizophrenic humor of Scott Long live on the Comedy Stage

A fantasy casino for the true adventure-spirits

Indy's largest balloon drop that highlights the always-spectacular countdown to midnight.
