Dick Clark‘s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest is kicking off 2026 with a stacked line-up of performers. Chappell Roan, 50 Cent, and Mariah Carey are among the artists performing in a supersized version of the annual special.

This year’s telecast is being touted as the longest in the show’s history, featuring an additional 90 minutes of programming. The performances will take place in New York’s Times Square as well as Las Vegas, Chicago, Puerto Rico, and more. Co-hosted by Seacrest with Rita Ora from Times Square, the show will air on ABC on December 31 at 8 pm EST and be available on Hulu the following day. Chance the Rapper will lead the show’s first-ever Central Time Zone countdown from Chicago, while Rob Gronkowski and Julianne Hough will co-host the one in Las Vegas. The hosts of the Puerto Rico celebration have yet to be announced.

While the Times Square headliner and special guests have yet to be announced, the ABC and Dick Clark Productions have previewed an expansive set of performers joining Roan and Carey this year. Among them are 4 Non Blondes, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato, Zara Larsson, Lil Jon, New Kids on the Block, Pitbull and the singing voices of Kpop Demon Hunters‘ Huntr/x, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami.

Carey’s appearance at this year’s countdown will be her first since 2017. At that year’s show, the legend was confronted with numerous on-stage mishaps, including a vocal track malfunction while performing her hit “Emotions.”

“I don’t even want to bring this up too much, but whatever, we’re obviously talking about it, the New Year’s Eve situation – that couldn’t be helped,” she told Rolling Stone shortly after. “I used to get upset by things. This was out of my control, and had everything not been such a total chaotic mess, then I would have been able to make something happen. Even the dancers should have stopped dancing and helped me off the fucking stage. I’m sorry. It was a mess, and I blame everybody, and I blame myself for not leaving after rehearsal.”
