LL Cool J and Journey to Headline from Times Square
It was announced this week that legendary rapper LL Cool J will be performing live in Times Square for the special, treating viewers to some of his iconic hits. Additionally, beloved rock band Journey will take the stage to perform a medley of their anthemic tunes.
This adds to an already exciting lineup for the Times Square segments hosted once again by Ryan Seacrest. Performers like Kelsea Ballerini, Armani White, Betty Who, Ava Max, and more will be taking the stage throughout the night leading up to the iconic ball drop at midnight ET.
In a statement, Seacrest expressed his excitement about the event:
“This year’s show promises more surprises and unprecedented performances that will deliver show-stopping celebratory moments as we close out 2022 and start the new year.”
Cardi B to Co-Host and Perform from Miami
