Nashville is gearing up for one of its biggest nights of the year as the full performance lineup for New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash has been announced. The five-hour celebration will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Wednesday, Dec. 31, bringing together an all-star roster that includes Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Riley Green, Marcus King, Megan Moroney, Zach Top, Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Dwight Yoakam.
They join previously announced headliners Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman for a citywide night of music broadcasting from multiple Nashville venues. Special guest appearances throughout the evening will feature Dusty Slay, Entertainment Tonight’s Cassie DiLaura, SiriusXM’s Buzz Brainard, and UFC champion Kayla Harrison.
This year’s official in-person watch party will be held at Luke Combs’ Category 10 in downtown Nashville, where country icon Dwight Yoakam will perform alongside Marcus King, with appearances from Cody Alan and Caylee Hammack to help ring in 2025.
The event is free for fans 21 and over on a first-come, first-served basis, with guaranteed entry and VIP options available for purchase right here. Meanwhile, Aldean, Wilson, and Zimmerman will anchor the main televised festivities live from Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, joined by CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers for a special performance. The broadcast will include countdowns in both Eastern and Central time zones, capped by Nashville’s signature Music Note Drop and a massive midnight fireworks show.
