Disney has announced details on who will be performing on this year’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special, which will see Ryan Seacrest return for his 20th year as host, and he will be joined alongside co-host Rita Ora to lead the festivities from New York’s Times Square.
The lineup for this year’s event will include Carrie Underwood, Megan Moroney and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Multihyphenate Dayanara Torres will return as a co-host in Puerto Rico.
Carrie Underwood will be returning to “American Idol” next year as a judge, which marks 20 years since her 2005 life-changing “American Idol” win. She will perform a medley of some of her biggest hits in Times Square just before midnight.
In a statement regarding her performance at this year’s event, Carrie said:
“I have such fun memories of performing on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square in both 2007 and 2015, and I’m so excited to perform just before the ball drops again this year. I’m thrilled to celebrate 20 years since winning ‘American Idol’ by joining Ryan as he hosts his 20th New Year’s Eve in Times Square.”
Megan Moroney will take the Times Square stage to culminate an eventful year which included the release of her second album, “Am I Okay?” The CMA New Artist of the Year will perform a two-song medley of tracks from the album, which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and was her first Top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Moroney also spent much of 2024 on tour with Kenny Chesney, hitting sold-out stadiums across the United States.
Legendary British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor will make her “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” debut with a performance of her platinum-certified hit “Murder on the Dancefloor” from Times Square. Since being featured in the recent film “Saltburn,” “Murder on the Dancefloor” has become one of the top viral hits of the year, climbing to the Top 5 on global charts and charting for the first time ever in the U.S. over 20 years after its original release.
Performers also include rock legend Lenny Kravitz, who has sold over 40 million albums and recently released his 12th studio album; genre-bending singer-songwriter Teddy Swims; multiplatinum certified R&B disruptor, singer, songwriter and dancer Tinashe; chart-topping country superstar Cody Johnson and five-time GRAMMY-nominated hitmaker Thomas Rhett.
