ATLANTA - The Peach Drop is back with some special guests to ring in 2025.
On Wednesday, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens announced the city's traditional New Year's Eve event was returning to Underground Atlanta.
Rapper and philanthropist Big Boi, one-half of the iconic Atlanta hip-hop group Outkast, will headline the show.
Joining Big Boi at the event will be American rock band Neon Trees and singer-songwriter RES.
"It is my pleasure to bring this beloved tradition back to heart of Downtown Atlanta during its truly historic and transformative renaissance," said Mayor Dickens. "This event is a fun and exciting way for residents and visitors alike to ring in 2025 like only we can in the ATL."
Award-winning radio personality and Atlanta native Ryan Cameron will be the host of the event.
"I look forward to again being up close and personal with 100K of ATL’s finest," Cameron said.
The event, which will be produced by Live Nation, is free and starts at 6 p.m. on New Year's Eve at Underground Atlanta.
