Fans can ring in 2025 the country way with the fourth annual New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. This year, Keith Urban will co-host and co-headline the event at Nashville’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Kane Brown and Jelly Roll will join the “Messed Up As Me” singer as the proverbial “stars” of the show. And with additional performances by Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, and more, it’s sure to be a spectacular night.

Here’s Who Is Performing at ‘Nashville’s Big Bash’
First achieving country music success with 2005’s Kerosene, Miranda Lambert released her 10th studio album, Postcards From Texas, in September 2024. While the “Gunpowder and Lead” hitmaker hasn’t announced what she plans to perform at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, the album’s lead single, “Wranglers,” seems like a safe bet.

Lainey Wilson and tourmate Zach Top are also set to perform during the five-hour special. (No word yet if they’ll reprise their beloved “Keep Up With Jones” performance.)
The night will also feature performances from Shaboozey, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Tyler Hubbard, Post Malone, Brittney Spencer, and Chris Stapleton. Additionally, Parker McCollum will perform from the Brooklyn Bowl.
New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash will air on December 31 on CBS. Like last year’s event, it will be broken into two segments. The first part runs from 8 p.m. to 10 pm Eastern and Pacific before taking a 30-minute break for the evening news. The final portion of the event will air from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Eastern and Pacific.
Parker McCollum Was Too Nervous To Ask Miranda Lambert for a Duet
Although Parker McCollum has long dreamed of teaming up with fellow Texan Miranda Lambert on a song, he admits he “never had the guts” to ask her. Fortunately, the “Mama’s Broken Heart” singer asked him, which is how we ended up with “Santa Fe” on Lambert’s latest album, Postcards From Texas.
“It could’ve been ‘Happy Birthday’ and I would’ve sung it with her,” McCollum said. “I’m such a fan of her. I don’t think I even listened to it all the way through, I texted her back and been like, ‘I’m in!’”
