ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026 is stacking up a starry lineup. Mariah Carey, Chappell Roan and Post Malone are among the headliners announced for the eight-hour countdown special airing New Year’s Eve. Pop icons 50 Cent, Charlie Puth, Pitbull and country star Maren Morris will also perform, alongside breakout acts like Chappell Roan (fresh off her viral hits) and veterans including Goo Goo Dolls and Little Big Town. The show runs from 8 p.m. Dec. 31 to 4 a.m. on ABC (and will re-air on Hulu), making it the longest broadcast in the rockin’ eve series history with more than 85 songs planned.
Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora will co-host from Times Square in New York, with Chance the Rapper counting down from Chicago and NFL legend Rob Gronkowski (with Julianne Hough) in Las Vegas. A headliner for the Times Square ball drop is still under wraps. With Mariah’s first NYE performance in years and a mix of pop, rock and country, this edition promises to ring in 2026 in style.
