Looking to celebrate the New Year the country way? Nashville is throwing a big bash and you’re cordially invited.

CBS is bringing the fireworks and New Year’s cheer to TV screens everywhere with New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. The show is set to air live on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT, 10:30 PM-1:30 AM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network. Comedian and actor Bert Kreischer and country music star HARDY will be hosting the event, partying hard with musical guests like Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman, and special guests CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

“You hear people say, ‘I’m honored and privileged to be working with a certain group of people,’ but in this case, I am blown away that I’m allowed to work with these people. This lineup is insane,” said Kreischer in a Paramount+ press release. “This event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun. To be working with my buddy HARDY … it feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. I can’t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on, and I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier.”
