"Nashville is quickly becoming THE destination for New Year's Eve, and we are honored that CBS wants to help us continue to show off our music and incredible city with a new multi-year deal!"

The broadcast will cross multiple time zones, with the traditional countdown at midnight ET, culminating with the renowned Nashville music note drop and fireworks at midnight CT. Past performers include Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert, among others.

Additional information about this year's lineup of star-studded performers and hosts will be announced at a later date.
