NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Rock legend Stevie Nicks will appear as a special guest with headliner Keith Urban at Nashville’s Music City Midnight concert.

Also joining the lineup: Ashley McBryde, the reigning Academy of Country Music New Female Artist of the Year and CMA New Artist of the Year; Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, English rock band The Struts, Americana award winner Amanda Shire, Bren Joy, country artist Kalie Shorr, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and GRAMMY-winner DJ Dave Audé.

The concert is free and open to the public.

“To have someone of the caliber and stature of Stevie Nicks join Keith Urban on stage is an incredible way to cap off the year,” Mayor John Cooper said. “Nashville has worked hard to grow New Year’s Eve into a world-class event that brings global attention and economic impact to the city. Considering the evening’s diverse lineup, national broadcast coverage, and the addition of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist to the program, it’s clear that these efforts are working.”

Gates at Bicentennial Mall will open at 4 p.m. on Tuesday with DJ Case Bloom providing entertainment before the Music Note is raised. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, an ensemble of students from Fisk University, will kick off the live music with a selection of spiritual music.

The show’s highlight will be the traditional Music Note Drop and accompanying fireworks display to usher in the New Year. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, an ensemble of students from Fisk University, will kick off the live music with a selection of spiritual music.
