Stop! In the Name of … celebrating the end of 2025 and the beginning of a new year, when the supremely legendary Diana Ross performs from Times Square as the ball drops to herald 2026. (Likely to be featured: her 1980 hit “Upside Down,” which is enjoying a renaissance thanks to Stranger Things — more on that later.) Ryan Seacrest hosts with Rita Ora from New York City, while Chance the Rapper leads the show’s inaugural broadcast from Chicago, with Dancing with the Stars‘ Julianne Hough and the NFL’s Rob Gronkowski holding court in Las Vegas, and Roselyn Sánchez from Puerto Rico. Among the dozens of performers scheduled: Ciara, Little Big Town and Maren Morris in Times Square; Mariah Carey, New Kids on the Block, OneRepublic, 50 Cent, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato, Goo Goo Dolls, Rick Springfield and more from the West Coast, with reggaeton star Daddy Yankee in Puerto Rico, Jamila Woods in Chicago, and segments featuring Chappell Roan from Kansas City and Post Malone from Nashville.
