Rita Ora is set to team up with Ryan Seacrest for this year’s Rockin’ Eve celebration.
Exciting Performances Lined Up
The excitement for the new year is building up fast! ABC revealed on Tuesday a star-studded lineup for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Some of the performers include Tinashe, Teddy Swims, Thomas Rhett, Cody Johnson, and the previously announced Lenny Kravitz.
Highlighting A Big Year
For many of these artists, the upcoming performances will cap off a huge year. Teddy Swims became a streaming sensation with his hit “Lose Control” from the album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy. He even snagged a Best New Artist nomination at the 2025 Grammys! Tinashe made a strong comeback with her popular song “Nasty.” Meanwhile, country singers Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett both released new music: Johnson revisited his 2023 album with a deluxe version, and Rhett launched About a Woman in August.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how these amazing artists will light up the stage!
More Fun Elements
As mentioned earlier, Seacrest and Ora will be leading the show, which promises to be a spectacle with incredible magicians and circus acts joining in the fun.
Massive Audience
Rockin’ Eve is one of the biggest non-sports events on TV. Last year, it attracted 36 million viewers who watched performances by stars like Sabrina Carpenter, NewJeans, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Friendly Feud Resolved
Earlier this year, Seacrest appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, where they humorously talked about their friendly rivalry over their competing New Year’s shows. Cohen said, “I don’t even remember what the feud was about, but we did see each other and waved.” Seacrest chimed in, “We can’t get to each other or else we’d hug!” Cohen cheerfully concluded, “The beef is squashed!”
