Country music superstar Keith Urban hosted Jack Daniel’s Music City Midnight in Nashville, Tennessee, on New Year’s Eve. According to the organizers, this event attracted 175,000 to 200,000 attendees! Besides Urban, the lineup featured Peter Frampton, Judah & the Lion, Caitlyn Smith, Devon Gilfillian, Brett Young, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The 10th annual Nashville New Year’s Eve event capped off with a Music Note Drop and fireworks to welcome the New Year.
During the celebration, the Aussie paid tribute to the artists who passed away in 2018. Watch Urban perform a medley of “Zombie” by The Cranberries (in honor of Dolores O’Riordan), “Respect”(in honor of Aretha Franklin), “Rolling In My Sweet Baby’s Arms” (in honor of Roy Clark), “Wake Me Up” (in honor of Avicii), “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd (in honor of Ed King)!
Yes, Peter Frampton joined Keith onstage for “Sweet Home Alabama”! How awesome is it to see them both rocking out together?! What a beautiful way to honor a handful of the musicians we lost over the past year.
