NASHVILLE'S BIG BASH JUST GOT BIGGER

CBS' New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash just got bigger. The five-hour television special will ring in 2023 with performances by country's biggest stars. Recent additions include Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow, Ashley McBryde, Darius Rucker and Lainey Wilson. The 50-act event will also boast performances by previously announced artists Brooks & Dunn, Little Big Town, Zac Brown Band and Kelsea Ballerini.

Orchestrated by CBS EVP, Specials, Music, Live Events & Alternative Programming Jack Sussman, Nashville's Big Bash will be hosted by Jimmie Allen, Elle King and Entertainment Tonight's Rachel Smith.

Nashville plans to count down to the stroke of 12:00 with the East Coast and keep the party going through midnight Central Time with its annual Music Note Drop, the city's version of NYC's Times Square ball drop. As for us, we'll be crying into our mimosas by noon.

New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash will air live from Music City beginning at 8pm ET on CBS and stream live and on demand via Paramount+.
