Jelly Roll and Kane Brown are set to lead Nashville in ringing in 2025, when they headline the concert special New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, which will return to Music City’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.
The concert will air live from downtown Nashville on Tuesday, Dec. 31 from 8 p.m.-10 p.m. ET/PT, on CBS Television Network, and will stream on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).
In addition to Jelly Roll and Brown leading the evening with music, the famed Music Note drop will take place at midnight as Nashville counts down to the new year. The special will also feature an all-star lineup of performances across multiple time zones and live from Music City.
New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash 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 will be directed by Sandra Restrepo.
Jelly Roll has earned four No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits, including “Son of a Sinner” and “Halfway to Hell,” and is set to release his upcoming album Beautifully Broken on Oct. 11. Net profits from each pre-order of the album made through Jelly Roll’s official website will aid organizations that support those battling addiction and mental health struggles. The funds will benefit Folds of Honor, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Shatterproof and the Wounded Warriors Project.
Brown has notched 11 Country Airplay hits including “Bury Me in Georgia” and “I Can Feel It,” and is set to receive the country champion award at the upcoming 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, set to take place Sept. 26 in Nashville.
