Tucker Wetmore’s New Year’s Eve will be different than the ones before
In 2025, Tucker Wetmore will break from his usual Dec. 31 ritual to play the iconic New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on ABC.
So what’s his typical plan? Just hanging with his bros.
“Usually I’ll rent a cabin in the woods with my buddies and we’ll just party or plan a beach trip or anything with my friends. I’ll just get a six pack, maybe 12 [if] it’s a good night, and I just drink with my buddies and have a good time and celebrate the year prior,” Tucker told ABC’s On the Red Carpet during rehearsals for the show.
Heading into 2026, he has a lot commemorate.
“It has been an absolutely crazy year,” Tucker reflects. “I feel like I’ve checked a majority of my bucket list items off my list so far, but you know, every day I’m just adding new ones.”
“And, you know, next year is looking insane,” he continues. “We’re doing a whole world tour. It’s called the Brunette World Tour. You know, I’m going on tour with HARDY and headlining some festivals that I’m really looking forward to, and dropping my second album at some point. I’m working on it right now.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026 kicks off on ABC Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET, with the show featuring countdowns from New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, Puerto Rico and more.
Jordan Davis’ plan to have ‘the most fun onstage’ for New Year’s Rockin’ Eve
Jordan Davis will welcome 2026 by accomplishing a goal he’s had practically his whole life: playing New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
“This is the thing that you grow up [and] you know that everybody in the country is watching this, including me last year wanting to be a part of this. So here we are now, you know, getting to sing at it, getting to be part of it, so it’s a special night,” he told ABC’s On the Red Carpet during rehearsals for the show.
Appropriately, Jordan is set to perform his two number ones from 2025.
“We’re playing two songs, ‘Bar None’ and ‘I Ain’t Sayin’,’ and they are my two favorite songs to play live,” he says. “So when they asked us what we were playing, I was like, ‘Well, we’re just gonna play the two songs that we have the most fun onstage with.'” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
