Watch the 2021 New Year’s Eve Ball Drop live online in Times Square
It’s almost time to say good riddance to 2020. The famous Times Square Ball Drop will look a little bit different this year because of social distancing and health concerns, but the televised 2021 New Year’s Eve concert is still happening as a broadcasted event with music performances, celebrity appearances and more.
Formally called Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, the ABC 2021 New Year’s Eve show is the 49th annual event and will have over five and a half hours of performances. The live show will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and will include music performers from a variety of genres.
Along with headliner Jennifer Lopez, get ready to dance in your living room to Machine Gun Kelly, Jimmie Allen, Maroon 5, Nelly, Miley Cyrus, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, JP Saxe and Julia Michaels, En Vogue, Ella Mai, Lewis Capaldi, and Brandy. Broadway performer Billy Porter will also be reuniting with Cyndi Lauper for a duet (and we’re hoping there’s a nod to Kinky Boots).
How can I watch the 2021 New Year’s Eve Ball Drop concert live online free?
For Ryan Seacrest’s 16th year of hosting the 2021 New Year’s Eve Ball Drop show, he will be joined again by Ciara, who will host the Pacific Time Zone from Los Angeles, and Big Freedia, who will host the Central Time Zone from New Orleans. In Times Square, Seacrest will be joined by Billy Porter and Lucy Hale as co-hosts.
We expect to see many interviews throughout the show, but it’s also been confirmed that president-elect Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden are scheduled to give “their last interview of the year” in Times Square as part of the show as well.
