Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year Wilson will be joined by recent Bridgestone Arena headliner and Grammy-nominated country star Thomas Rhett, plus the latest lineup of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd as headlining performers for the free public concert airing as part of the five-hour special on Dec. 31, starting at 6:30 p.m. CT on CBS and Paramount+.

"Big Bash will celebrate the start of 2024 with three incredible headliners who promise to deliver unforgettable performances," said President and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp Deana Ivey about the Bicentennial Park festivities home to the famed Music Note Drop at midnight.
