CBS will again ring in the new year with New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. The five-hour celebration returns to the network, airing live Sunday, Dec. 31 from downtown Nashville at 7:30-10 PM ET/PT/10:30 PM-1:05 AM ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ as part of a multi-year deal.
The first group of performers include Thomas Rhett, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Lainey Wilson.
“Building on what we have established over the last two years by focusing on our artists, the fans and the vibrancy of downtown Nashville, this year’s lineup is shaping up to be our most exciting yet. We will celebrate 50 years of the iconic southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, the skyrocketing Lainey Wilson and country music superstar Thomas Rhett, with over a dozen artists and special guests still to be announced,” said executive producer Robert Deaton. “Nashville is quickly becoming THE destination for New Year’s Eve, and we are honored that CBS wants to help us continue to show off our music and incredible city with a new multi-year deal!”
