Yes we know that you’ll be home and tucked in bed by 1.30am thanks to the deadline. But we’re saying start the party early and let the fun, feasting and erm, debauchery last as long as it can.

So from a The Vegas Strip and the roaring 20s to craft beers and EDM, here’s the top ten places you should be in Bangalore when you bid goodbye to 2015 and say hello 2016.
