Chance the Rapper and Julianne Hough have joined the co-hosting lineup for the 55th annual Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest special, airing Dec. 31 on ABC.  This year marks Seacrest’s 21st year hosting the event.

This year’s show will kick off in New York and continue through Las Vegas, Chicago and Puerto Rico. Seacrest will be ringing in the New Year as the main host of this year’s “Rockin’ Eve” in Times Square, with Rita Ora returning as his co-host for the third year in a row. Julianne Hough and former NFL player Rob Gronkowski will co-host in Las Vegas.

Chance the Rapper joins the Chicago broadcast as co-host, which will feature a midnight countdown for the Central Time zone for the first time in the show’s history. Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, previously said in a statement that “this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the beauty and dynamism of our city and its people for the world to see.”

Details for the Puerto Rico celebration will be announced soon, with the performance lineup for this year’s event to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
