SARATOGA SPRINGS \u2014 The Allman Betts Band will headline Saratoga\u2019s 2026 New Year\u2019s Eve festivities as part of an all-night music lineup spread across three venues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The largest venue, the Saratoga Springs City Center, will host Allman Betts (a Southern rock group that includes the sons of three members of the Allman Brothers Band), Ally the Piper (an internet-famous bagpipe player), Kieran Rhodes (a singer\/pianist featured on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d), Doc Horton (a Capital Region pop-soul performer), Heard (a world music\/jazz collective), Glass Pony (a \u201cpsychedelic groove circus\u201d group from Albany), and Maggie Doherty (a Saratoga-based singer\/songwriter).<\/p>\n

Indie pop band the Nicotine Dolls will play at the Universal Preservation Hall, with Troy-based act The Belle Curves opening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Caffe Lena, indie-folk\/Americana ensemble Reese Fulmer and the Carriage House Band will take the stage. The caffe\u2019s Executive Director Sarah Craig described the group as a younger, up-and-coming version of the Allman Betts Band.<\/p>\n

In addition to a full night of music, Saratoga\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve festivities will launch (literally and figuratively) with a fireworks display at the City Center accompanied by DJ RVMBA outside on Ellsworth Jones Place. This portion of the event, held from 5 to 6:30 p.m., is family friendly and free to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the festive fireworks to the First Day 5K \u2013 and a whole lot of outstanding entertainment options in between, Saratoga New Year\u2019s Eve offers an incredible New Year\u2019s celebration with something for everyone,\u201d said Todd Shimkus, president of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce. \u201cWe hope folks will join us to ring in 2026 by partaking in this beloved Saratoga tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
