Composer Timothy Hubler performed live during the whole evening on piano, leading up to and including the presentation and countdown to 2015 projected on the facade above the Oberwirt restaurant in Griesplatz, Lana.
A looping projection with a 3 hour countdown clock began at 21:00, this included logos from the sponsors plus information about when to arrive for the show and to enjoy a glass or two of bubbly from 23:30. The final presentation began a few minutes before midnight, the New Year arrived with images of Lana followed by a journey through the time zones beginning with Samoa and ending with Hawaii.
