Keith Urban, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey — Dec. 31 is shaping up to be another big New Year’s Eve in Nashville.
Roughly a four-hour drive from Atlanta, Nashville’s Big Bash will feature some massive country music hit makers. Oh, and it’s free.
What is Nashville’s Big Bash?
The New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash has been ringing in the new year for 15 years — attracting more than 200,000 attendees when it comes to town.
The concert is free to the public, features some of the biggest names in country music, food, drinks, things to do and will ring in the new year by dropping a giant music note from a 138-foot tower at midnight.
How do I watch it from home?
For those who can’t catch the event in person, the concert will air live on CBS beginning at 8 p.m. EST, and the music note drop will air on CNN. The event will also stream live on Paramount+ at paramountplus.com/shows/new-years-eve-live-nashvilles-big-bash/.
Who’s playing?
The New Year’s Eve celebration has quite a lineup this year, with four-time Grammy winning country music titan Keith Urban returning to headline and co-host. He will be joined by Jelly Roll and Kane Brown, with additional performances by Shaboozey and Brittney Spencer.
