The headliners for Nashville's annual New Year's Eve bash have been announced: Little Big Town, The Red Clay Strays and HARDY.
The Jack Daniel’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash will return to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park on Dec. 31, including four hours of free live music.
The night will be recorded live for a 4.5-hour-long national television broadcast on CBS and streamed live on Paramount+.
At this year's country-leaning celebration, vocal group Little Big Town will bring the harmonies, fast-rising band The Red Clay Strays will showcase their Southern rock sound, and HARDY will deliver his signature country-grunge.
“New Year’s Eve is one of the nights Nashville shines brightest, and with Little Big Town, The Red Clay Strays and HARDY
leading an incredible lineup this year, we’re excited to once again showcase Nashville’s music on a national stage,” said Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp., which produces the event.
“Visitors are vital to Nashville’s economy, supporting our local businesses and bringing new dollars into our community." Last year, the event generated $39 million in direct visitor spending and drew more than 205,000 attendees.
This will be the 18th annual New Year's concert in Nashville. At midnight, visitors will ring in the New Year with the drop of the redmusic note, which will descend on a 138-foot tower.
Additional artist performances and entertainment for Nashville’s Big Bash will be announced in the coming weeks.
