Ring in 2025 at one of Music City’s most highly anticipated annual events, as the New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash returns to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park for its 16th year. The event, which sees an annual attendance of 200,000-plus (more than half of whom are locals), will once again include the famed red Music Note, which will be dropped on a 138-foot tower at midnight to ring in the new year.

Keith Urban, Kane Brown and Jelly Roll are set to headline the event from Bicentennial Park, and Parker McCollum will perform from the Brooklyn Bowl with special guests, including SiriusXM and CMT host Cody Alan and SiriusXM host Caylee Hammack.

At home, viewers can watch the fun unfold on CBS with more than 40 back-to-back performances from country music’s biggest stars, including new performers like Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Tyler Hubbard, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer, Chris Stapleton, Zach Top and Lainey Wilson.

Following an East Coast countdown to midnight, the festivities continue through 12 a.m. CT with the iconic Music Note Drop at the Bicentennial Mall stage and a dazzling 90-second fireworks display.

The event is executive produced by Robert Deaton and Mary Hilliard Harrington in partnership with Music City Inc., the foundation of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. The special is directed by Sandra Restrepo, co-hosted by Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith, sponsored by Jack Daniel’s and presented by CBS.

The concert is free and open to the public, with gates opening at 5 p.m. A five-hour CBS Television Network special will air live and stream on Paramount + on Tuesday, Dec. 31, from 7 to 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. For more information, visit visitmusiccity.com/newyearseve.
