A 9 p.m. start is set for The Elmont’s Dec. 31 party, where Wax Motif will lead the entertainment as guests ring in 2027.
According to KFOX, the celebration will draw on house and bass-house styles alongside hip-hop influences. The station also notes Wax Motif’s history of performing at festivals, clubs and venues worldwide. The Elmont presents the event as part of its year-round entertainment program; tickets and VIP table reservations are on sale at elmontsocial.com, KFOX reports.
A Venue Built for Big Nights in Montecillo
The Elmont Event Center sits in El Paso's Montecillo district, where it has carved out an identity far beyond a typical concert hall. The venue describes itself as a resort-style swim club, concert venue and event destination offering water attractions, dining and a full calendar of entertainment, the station's report notes, and its entertainment offerings include both the Elmont Swim Club and Evaga Desert Kitchen as part of that broader experience.
That reputation didn't happen overnight. The Elmont has become known for resort-style pool parties, nightlife programming and large-scale live performances, a profile that's only grown as the property pushes into new territory. For 2026, the article notes, The Elmont rolled out spring and summer concerts bringing nationally recognized electronic artists to both its outdoor poolside stage and, for the first time, an indoor venue space — part of what the same coverage describes as an expansion aimed at creating year-round concert experiences.
Indoor Stage Already Drawing Electronic Headliners
The indoor push has already brought a steady run of dance-music names through El Paso this year. Per the report, the 2026 indoor lineup included Nora En Pure headlining the indoor stage in March, followed by Layton Giordani, Crankdat, Hot Since 82 and Gorgon City in the months after. Wax Motif's New Year's Eve booking extends that same electronic-music programming into the venue's biggest night of the calendar.
Conflicting Accounts of Past New Year's Eve Lineups
Not every account of The Elmont's New Year's Eve plans lines up cleanly. A separate event listing from EPstuff describes Grupo Sensación de Ricky Valtierra as returning to headline what it calls The Elmont's signature New Year's Eve bash for a third consecutive year, and frames the night as an all-ages event featuring dinner, live music, dancing and a complimentary midnight toast, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and buffet service running from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. It is unclear whether that listing describes a past celebration, a different package within the same night, or a conflicting account of the Dec. 31, 2026 event — the two descriptions have not been reconciled.
A Separate City New Year’s Eve Celebration
The City of El Paso announced a different event to ring in 2026: its free WinterFest celebration was scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight on Dec. 31, 2025, at San Jacinto Plaza. The city-partnered event was distinct from The Elmont’s ticketed Wax Motif party, according to the City of El Paso.
Pricing details from an earlier Elmont New Year's Eve event add another layer. A separate KFOX report on the venue's New Year's offerings described a Dinner & Party Package priced at $100 per person, with an $80 resident discount, alongside a Party Package at $50 per person and a $40 resident discount. Both packages, the same report noted, included live music, a dessert grazing table, a midnight champagne toast for guests 21 and over, and party favors. Whether those specific packages apply to this year's Wax Motif-headlined night has not been confirmed.
For now, the confirmed details point to a 9 p.m. start on Dec. 31 at The Elmont Event Center, with Wax Motif leading a night of house, bass house and hip-hop-influenced dance music to close out the year. Those looking to attend can find tickets and VIP table information at elmontsocial.com.
