ATLANTA — Mayor Andre Dickens announced the return of Atlanta’s New Year’s Eve Peach Drop Festival—the Southeast’s iconic tradition to ring in the New Year.

The evening will be headlined by Big Boi, the diamond-selling rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor and philanthropist. Neon Trees, RES and local artists will also perform, and Atlanta’s Ryan Cameron will emcee.

“It is my pleasure to bring this beloved tradition back to heart of Downtown Atlanta during its truly historic and transformative renaissance,” Dickens said in a release. “This event is a fun and exciting way for residents and visitors alike to ring in 2025 like only we can in the ATL.”

The event will be held at Underground Atlanta on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024. The stage will open at 6 p.m., and the historic peach will drop at midnight. The much-beloved celebration attracts more than tens of thousands of attendees.

Two-time Emmy Award Winner, radio personality and Atlanta native Ryan Cameron will serve as the host and emcee of the event.

“I look forward to again being up close and personal with 100K of ATL’s finest,” Cameron said in a release.

Global entertainment company Live Nation will produce the event.
