Keith Urban will boost the star power at Nashville's nationally televised New Year's Eve celebration broadcast on CBS, organizers announced Tuesday.

Why it matters: Urban, one of the most decorated country artists of the 21st century, adds to a roster that also includes Kane Brown and Jelly Roll.

Zoom in: This will be the city's 16th annual New Year's Eve concert celebration. The party — known officially as Jack Daniel's New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash — has historically drawn more than 200,000 people to the Bicentennial Capitol Mall.

It airs as a five-hour special on CBS and Paramount+.

Flashback: Urban previously headlined the event from 2016-2019.

What they're saying: "Keith consistently delivers an incredible show and has a dedicated fan base," Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp., said in a statement.

"We invite both visitors and residents to join us in ringing in the New Year with an unforgettable celebration."
