Nashville’s throwing the biggest party in the country and this year, it’s led by a trio who define where country music’s headed next. Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson, and Bailey Zimmerman are set to headline CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, turning Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park into a five-hour fireworks display of country anthems, big voices, and pure Tennessee energy.

Broadcast live on December 31 (8:00–10:00 PM ET/PT and again from 10:30 PM–1:30 AM ET/PT) on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, the event promises to blend neon-lit spectacle with the heart of country storytelling. With more than 220,000 people packing downtown last year, it’s become America’s go-to destination for ringing in the new year, with boots, guitars, and fireworks lighting up the Nashville skyline.
Aldean, country music’s tried-and-true stadium king, brings a decade’s worth of hits and a legacy built on grit and guitar riffs. Wilson, fresh off another record-breaking year, embodies everything Big Bash stands for bold, grounded, and unstoppable. And Zimmerman, country’s fastest-rising chart dominator, rounds out the lineup, proving that the genre’s next wave is already here and thriving.
When the clock strikes midnight and the iconic Music Note drops, all eyes and ears will be on Nashville. Because no one does a new year quite like country music does: loud, proud, and live. So grab your boots, tune in, and let the countdown begin, Music City’s about to throw one unforgettable goodbye to 2025.
