As 2025 comes to a close, most people are taking a moment to reflect on the year. In music, there were more than a few key moments. Beyoncé won Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year thanks to Cowboy Carter. Taylor Swift got engaged to Travis Kelce. And Oasis appeared to put their differences aside for a historic reunion show. With 2025 a year full of milestones, records, and awards, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve hopes to highlight some of the top names in music with a lineup that reflects the year’s biggest moments in music.

Back in 2005, Ryan Seacrest took the stage to ring in the new year after Dick Clark fell ill. Just a year later, Seacrest was named the permanent host. And since that moment, he has returned every year. 2025 will mark his 20th consecutive year hosting the event. But he won’t be alone. Rita Ora will also battle the frigid temperatures as the co-host.
With Seacrest and Ora hosting from Times Square, Chance the Rapper will host a separate celebration from Chicago. And in Las Vegas, NFL star Rob Gronkowski and Julianne Hough looked to entertain with a special broadcast from Sin City.
