Silver Spaceship Blasts Off into the New Year at Colony, Woodstock, NY

Annual Cosmic Dance Party Returns to Ring in 2026

The tradition continues! The Hudson Valley’s beloved party band Silver Spaceship — The Greatest All-Star Party Band in the Known Universe — returns to Colony (22 Rock City Rd, Woodstock, NY) for its annual New Year’s Eve celebration, one of the area’s most anticipated ways to welcome the new year.

The night kicks off at 8:00 p.m. with local favorites Freek’s Garage, setting the groove for Silver Spaceship’s high-energy blastoff at 10:00 p.m. Expect an unforgettable mix of funk, pop, soul, and classic rock that keeps the dance floor packed straight through midnight and beyond — plus costumes, glitter, and a countdown filled with cosmic joy.

“This show has become a yearly ritual — a night to dance your ass off and celebrate being alive,” says Chris Wells, the band’s captain. “We want to lift people up, make them feel like they’ve traveled through a funky and fabulous dimension for a few hours.”
