Adelaide's burgeoning live music scene will feature in the city's main New Year's Eve celebrations.
The live music program at Elder Park will demonstrate the council's commitment to local musicians, Lord Mayor Martin Haese says.
"Adelaide has been globally recognised for its local music scene," he said.
"And we'll be celebrating some of our finest homegrown talent on New Year's Eve with South Australian acts that range from electronic, blues and soul, indie pop, and world music sounds.
"Bringing in the New Year at Elder Park has become a tradition for many friends and families."
But to keep the crowds in check, two areas in Adelaide will be Declared Public Precincts as police mount a major operation to crack down on anti-social behaviour.
The declarations for Sunday night and Monday morning cover parts of the CBD and seaside Glenelg and give police wider search and crowd control powers.
Fireworks will delight revellers at both locations with displays at at 9pm and midnight.
Fireworks will also feature at 20 events across the state, from Whyalla on Eyre Peninsula to Renmark in the Riverland.
Health Minister Peter Malinauskas has urged revellers to go easy on the alcohol to keep the pressure off ambulance and hospital services.
Police say they will have little tolerance for any bad behavior.
