The lineup for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025 has added a galaxy of stars to this year’s lineup.

Fresh, as well as performances from Ernest, HARDY, Kesha, Laufey, Natasha Bedingfield and T-Pain.

As if that wasn’t enough, the show will also feature a performance by Blake Shelton from Las Vegas, TLC taking the stage in New York’s Times Square and Luis Fonsi from his native Puerto Rico just before midnight in the Atlantic time zone, an hour before the ball drops in Times Square.

Morissette, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her iconic Jagged Little Pill album, will perform multiple times during the night, including a duet with Rapp on “You Oughta Know.” The new additions join previously announced performers Carrie Underwood, Megan Moroney, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, Tinashe, Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett. The countdown will air on ABC on Dec. 31 beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

The most-watched NYE countdown show will once again be hosted by Seacrest — in his 20th go-round — along with co-host Rita Ora in Times Square, where Underwood will take the stage for a medley of her greatest hits live just before midnight. Co-host Dayanara Torres will anchor the feed from Puerto Rico on the 54th annual broadcast.

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025 will stream the next day on Hulu. Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Corporation; PMC is also the parent company of Billboard.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
