New Year’s Eve means celebration, and what’s a celebration without music? Whether you’re going out or staying in to watch televised celebrations, there’s plenty of top names on tap.

On ABC, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest has BTS live from Time Square. The South Korean boy group will play a medley of its hits starting at 10:38 PM ET. The Times Square show will also have Post Malone, Sam Hunt and Alanis Morissette and the cast of Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill. For the West Coast, Ciara, Paula Abdul, Kelsea Ballerini, Blanco Brown, Green Day, Dua Lipa and Salt-N-Pepa perform.
