One Direction, Charli XCX, Fergie, Meghan Trainor Confirmed For Billboard Hollywood Party On New Year's Eve

With 2015 on the horizon, announcements for various New Year's Eve concerts will soon be inescapable.

Billboard just released the lineup for their Hollywood Party on Dec. 31, and it includes One Direction, Charli XCX, Meghan Trainor and Fergie, among others.

Fergie Ferg — who is expected to drop a new album in 2015 — will also host for the ninth straight year (!), and the event will be broadcast nationally during ABC's traditional New Year's Eve telecast.

Across the country, Ryan Seacrest will be hosting Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Jenny McCarthy, and Taylor Swift will perform live in Times Square.

The coasts aren't the only ones in on the fun, though; Nashville will also get performances from Lady Antebellum and Gavin DeGraw on Broadway in downtown Nashvegas.

Billboard reports that all of these fun things will begin at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

One Direction manager Simon Cowell recently joked that his infant son, Jared, would be joining 1D as its new drummer, effective immediately.

"I was born to be a dad," he added. "I actually said to [wife] Lauren beforehand, 'What if I like the dogs more than him?' and she said, 'You're gonna be absolutely fine,' and then literally within seconds of him being born, I got it!"

1D rose to fame after nearly winning the British version of The X Factor. They signed with Cowell's Syco Records shortly thereafter.

"They just had it. They had this confidence. They were fun," Cowell told Rolling Stone about the first time he saw 1D perform. "They worked out the arrangements themselves. They were like a gang of friends, and kind of fearless as well."
