Keith Urban to Headline Jack Daniel’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash
Nashville’s highly anticipated New Year’s Eve celebration, Jack Daniel’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, will be headlined and co-hosted by four-time GRAMMY Award-winner Keith Urban. Urban will be joined by fellow music stars, Kane Brown, a multi-Platinum award-winning artist, and GRAMMY-nominated sensation Jelly Roll. Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith will also return as co-host, bringing even more excitement to this star-studded event.
Set to take place at the iconic Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, the event is free and open to the public. For those unable to attend in person, the five-hour CBS special will be broadcast live on Tuesday, Dec. 31, starting at 7 p.m. CT and continuing from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. CT, featuring electrifying performances from Music City. It will also stream live on Paramount+. As the highest-rated country music program of 2023, Nashville’s Big Bash is sure to ring in 2025 with a bang.
Now in its 16th year, the New Year’s Eve concert relocated to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in 2016 and has since become a major event for Nashville. Keith Urban previously headlined the celebration from 2016 to 2019 and is returning once again to delight fans with his incredible performances. The evening will feature the famous red Music Note drop on a 138-foot tower, welcoming the new year in style.
Each year, the live event draws a crowd of more than 200,000 people, with more than half of the attendees being local residents. The celebration generates around $39 million in direct visitor spending for Nashville, making it one of the city’s most significant annual events.
“We are thrilled to have Keith Urban back as one of the headliners and co-hosts for Nashville’s Big Bash,” said Deana Ivey, President and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “Keith always delivers an amazing show and has a huge following. This year’s event is shaping up to be one of our best yet, and we encourage visitors and locals alike to join us for an unforgettable night.”
