This year’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest is gearing up to be one of the biggest celebrations yet. Ryan Seacrest returns as host, joined by Rita Ora, with performances scheduled from major stars including 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, Ciara, Lil Jon, Busta Rhymes, T.I., and more live from Times Square.
In a first for the iconic show, Chance the Rapper will host a Chicago version of the event, expanding the franchise into a multi city broadcast format. The entire celebration airs December 31 on ABC.
Every year, tens of thousands of people pack Times Square to countdown to midnight. As Steve has his own history as a New Year’s Eve host, many are wondering if he has advice for those braving the crowds, cold weather, and hours long wait. One thing is for sure, the energy, lights, and superstar lineup are set to make this New Year’s Eve unforgettable.
