This lineup is insane,\u201d Kreischer said in a statement. \u201cThis event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun. To be working with my buddy HARDY \u2026 it feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. I can\u2019t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on, and I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSocial media star Haley Baylee will serve as a correspondent from New York City and will count down with the East Coast at midnight for new York City\u2019s ball drop, while HARDY and Kreischer will keep the party going strong through midnight CT, featuring Nashville\u2019s Music Note Drop at the Bicentennial Stage.<\/p>\n \n\tIn addition to performing, HARDY will also perform live at Bicentennial Park in Nashville, with previously announced headliners<\/a> Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman, along with special guests CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
