The lineup for the 2023 New Year’s Rockin’ Eve got a few new significant additions, as Megan Thee Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter, Tyla, and Jelly Roll will be joining the party and the already star-studded slate of performers.
As for what songs to expect, Megan is treating the crowd to a special performance, which could possibly be a selection of new music. Carpenter is planning to mashup her two singles, “Nonsense” and “Feather.”
Tyla will play her breakthrough hit, “Water,” along with her new song, “Truth Or Dare.” Finally, Jelly Roll will be performing a medley alongside special guest Jessie Murph.
Other previously-announced artists that will be performing on the holiday special include Green Day, Ludacris, Janelle Monáe, Post Malone, NewJeans, Ellie Goulding, Doechii, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Paul Russell, Loud Luxury, Two Friends and Bebe Rexha, Reneé Rapp and Coco Jones, and many, many more.
While the event will be held live in New York, some of the artists will be joining in from around the globe for their performances. For example, Post Malone is participating in Vegas, and NewJeans will be in South Korea.
Viewers can tune in to watch their favorite artists starting at 8 p.m. ET on December 31 on ABC.

Pop Crave posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the show “opens with an Olivia Rodrigo performance” alongside a 26-second video snippet of Rodrigo backstage before “her first time performing at the Jingle Ball,” which would have been on December 1 in Los Angeles. Rodrigo also performed at the iHeartRadio Z100’s Jingle Ball 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 8 — one day before serving as the musical guest on SNL. (It’s unclear where the video originated from.)
This year’s iHeart Radio Jingle Ball opens with an Olivia Rodrigo performance.

iHeartRadio is bringing its Jingle Ball Tour to Atlanta next, with the concert taking place in the city tonight, December 14. As the lineup is incredibly stacked, with Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, Sabrina Carpenter, Flo Rida, David Kushner, Kaliii, and NCT DREAM all set to appear at the State Farm Arena, fans looking to catch all their favorite performers might be wondering when to arrive.
Here’s what to know.
What Time Does iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Atlanta Start?
The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball show in Atlanta tonight will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, and it’s unclear how long the event will run for. However, there are quite a lot of artists and sets to get through, so it will be a jam-packed night of music.
Considering it is just one stage that the artists will share, the event will likely end around 10:30 or 11 p.m., based on a typical concert curfew.
A few tickets to Jingle Ball Atlanta for tonight are still available, with prices starting at $46. More information can be found here.
For those who won’t be able to make it to Atlanta or any of the Jingle Ball Tour dates, there will be an exclusive performance broadcast on December 21 that plays on ABC at 8 p.m. and will be available to stream on Hulu the following day.

The iHeart Radio Jingle Ball is known for good lineups, after having artists like Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, and BTS in the past. The touring festival makes stops through cities in Florida, Michigan, California, Texas, Georgia, and more states, but the most major event is the one in New York City, which is taking place on December 8 this year.
The lineup for the New York City event is nothing short of exciting. On the roster is Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, OneRepublic, Sabrina Carpenter, Jelly Roll, Big Time Rush, Doechii, Pentatonix, David Kushner, and Melanie Martinez.
Other dates have Ice Spice, Usher, Flo Rida, Lil Durk, Nicki Minaj, Marshmello, Niall Horan, Zara Larsson, and more. Find more information here.
Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter on the same lineup is sure to cause a stir in the fan base. Upon the 2021 release of Rodrigo’s famous hit “Drivers License,” rumors spread that the “blonde girl” mentioned in the song was actually Carpenter, who shared the same ex as her: Joshua Bassett. However, Rodrigo debunked the gossip: “I don’t really subscribe to hating other women because of boys. I think that’s so stupid, and I really resent that narrative that was being tossed around,” she said when asked about it.

Puth’s “That’s Not How This Works” featuring Carpenter is due out April 14, but who wants to wait that long for new music? No need! Carpenter dropped her “Nonsense (Remix) with Coi Leray today, March 23.
They teased the remix hours before with a clever snippet featuring both of their vocals, “This song harder than keepin’ a secret / He said my head’s crazy, I’m a genius / What’s better than one pop star? It’s two, b*tch / It’s Coi Leray and ‘Brina on the remix.”
In the full track, Leray complements the song’s infectious, lovesick hook with a dizzying flow: “This boy got me goin’ crazy / We just started dating, now he say he want a baby / He said, ‘Coi, you so amazing / ‘You a freak in the sheets, in the streets, you such a lady.’”
“Nonsense” is the breakout single from Emails I Can’t Send, her album from last July — peaking at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early February, peaking at No. 18 on the Pop Airplay chart earlier this month, and currently sitting at No. 42 on the Radio Songs chart.
Carpenter and Leray attended the Billboard Women In Music 2023 event earlier this month. Carpenter presented TWICE with the Breakthrough Award, while Leray presented SZA as Woman Of The Year.
