Kane Brown and Jelly Roll will perform and headline this year's New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash airing Tuesday, Dec. 31 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT, 10:30 PM-1:30) on CBS.

Both headliners will perform live from downtown Nashville. It will air on the CBS Television Network, and will stream on Paramount+.

Kane Brown and Jelly Roll are the first headliners announced to perform on the five-hour broadcast, which is set to feature an all-star lineup of powerful back-to-back performances across multiple time zones, live from Music City.

Last year’s edition of New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash was the highest-rated country music program of 2023.

Additional performers will be announced at a later date. For more information, visit CBS on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on-demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live but will have access to on-demand the day after the special airs.

As Jelly Roll continues to conquer the world, the very busy country singer now has a gig on Saturday Night Live. It's not just any episode either: it's the season premiere of the show's 50th season. That's going to be a busy day for him: he is also headlining the Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park that day with Post Malone.

Jelly is currently touring the country on his "Beautifully Broken Tour" and did have to postpone one show to make the SNL gig and a couple of fans on Instagram were not happy with that.

Jelly was as excited as we would expect him to be and took to Instagram to post a note of his performance (actress Jean Smart is hosting) and share his thoughts. He wrote, "The premiere of the 50th season of SNL. BRB going to cry for a few hours and call every family member I have. Bringing therapeutic music to my favorite show ever. God is Good."

Many fans commented on the post, including one who said, "How amazing you get to be there for such an amazing milestone show! What an honor! Crying for you myself The Universe works in mysterious ways, man & I'm so glad you believed in yourself enough to play it out & see it through." Another fan wrote, "Well deserved."
