Whoo-Hoo! Cardi B Added to ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ Lineup Already Featuring Ellie Goulding, Sabrina Carpenter, & More.
“LL Cool J and Cardi B are rounding out the lineup for this year’s Dick Clark New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest celebration.
As announced Wednesday (Dec. 27), the two rappers will perform just before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s from two different locations, with the hip-hop pioneer taking the Times Square stage in New York City and the next generation hitmaker set to celebrate poolside at Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Miami.
The two hip-hop titans join a previously announced lineup featuring Megan Thee Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyla, all four of whom will perform in NYC. Aqua, Doechii, Ellie Goulding, Green Day, Janelle Monáe, Loud Luxury x Two Friends with Bebe Rexha, Ludacris, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Paul Russell, Reneé Rapp with Coco Jones and Thirty Seconds to Mars will also be included in the night’s festivities, hosted this year by Rockin’ Eve veteran Ryan Seacrest and “I Will Never Let You Down” singer Rita Ora.
Plus, Post Malone is set to sing “Chemical” in Las Vegas as part of the program, and K-pop girl group NewJeans will welcome 2024 with performances of “Super Shy” and “ETA” in South Korea. The special countdown kicks off on ABC at 8 p.m. ET Sunday, Dec. 31, marking Dick Clark Productions’ 52nd New Year’s Eve broadcast.
It’s only fitting that Dick Clark’s 2023 sendoff will feature so many hip-hop trailblazers, with this year notably marking the genre’s 50th anniversary. Earlier this month, LL Cool J was part of CBS’ A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop TV special.
