With Performances from Charlie Puth, Kali Uchis, and Rico Nasty, Plus Appearances from Popular Creators, TikTok’s New Year’s Eve Celebration Airs on TikTok From 6pm PT to 7:15pm PT on 12/31
The News:
At the end of another year as a driver of music and culture, TikTok is set to host a bash celebrating some of the artists and creators that made 2021 one-of-a-kind. On December 31st at 6pm PT, TikTok airs TikTok New Year’s Eve Concert, a LIVE New Year’s Eve celebration, saying farewell to 2021 and ushering 2022 with a bang.
The upcoming concert will feature performances from three artists who made their mark on TikTok Music in 2021 (listed in order of performance):
- Charlie Puth – The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter was one of the most-viewed artists on TikTok in 2021.
- Kali Uchis – Kali’s song “telepatía” was the Top Latin Song of 2021 on TikTok, riding its status to the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100.
- Rico Nasty – The impossibly energetic rapper behind trending hits like “Smack A B*tch” is also a prolific TikTok creator, as she engages with trends on her own page (1.8 million followers)
Each artist will perform a set during the LIVE, each taking place on a different floor of the TikTok Towers–an apartment-themed staging area where the event will take place–each floor custom designed to fit each artist’s set. Along with the artist performances, TikTok’s LIVE New Year’s Eve Concert will feature appearances from some of the community’s favorite creators, including event host averagefashionblogger, plus scarlet_may.1, tracy.oj, cristiandennis, tyshonlawrence, and 8illy.
TikTok’s New Year’s Eve Concert caps a can’t miss year of TikTok LIVEs, including standout streams from Justin Bieber and J Balvin and the Headstream series, a unique interview that takes fans inside the minds of their favorite artists like Demi Lovato, P!nk, and more.
