The lineup has been announced for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025, presented by ABC and Dick Clark Productions.

Seacrest will mark his 20th year as host, returning alongside co-host Rita Ora to lead the festivities from New York’s Times Square. Carrie Underwood will headline the night of performances, performing before the ball drops at midnight. Country breakout star Megan Moroney and British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor are also set to perform.

Underwood shares, “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.”

Previously-announced performers also include rock legend Lenny Kravitz, genre-bending singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, R&B hitmaker Tinashe, chart-topping country superstar Cody Johnson and five-time Grammy nominee Thomas Rhett.

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025 will air Tuesday, Dec. 31, live on ABC beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST and stream next day on Hulu.
