Rick Astley is set to ring in 2024 at ‘New Year’s Eve Rocks’ on BBC One.
The pop legend, who recently returned to the charts with his ninth album, ‘Are We There Yet?’, will round out the year from Camden’s iconic Roundhouse.
With Rick to be joined on stage by some very special guests, the show will include classic hits and surprise numbers before and after the clocks chime midnight.
“What an honour it is to host the New Year’s Eve celebration on BBC One this year,” he says. “It’s always been part of my New Year’s ritual to watch the show and take in the amazing fireworks, so to be part of it this year is fantastic! Here’s to a great night.”
Jonathan Rothery, Head of BBC Pop Music TV adds: “Our annual New Year’s Eve performances on BBC One are about bringing some of the biggest names in music to people’s homes, wherever they are in the UK.
“The last few years have seen performances from Sam Ryder in 2022, Olly Alexander, Kylie, Pet Shop Boys in 2021 and Alicia Keys in 2020 and I’m so pleased to be able to announce that Rick Astley – who has had a fantastic 2023 so far – will be soundtracking the celebrations this year.
“It’s a brilliant way to round off another fantastic year of live performances on the BBC.”
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Tuesday, November 14 here. Minimum age 18 years.
