R&B artist 6lack performs "Forever" with Jessie Murph on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2026 in Times Square.

6lack is performing on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2026, marking a departure from his usual homebound New Year’s Eve celebrations. The Atlanta R&B artist will take the stage in Times Square with Jessie Murph, performing their collaborative track “Forever,” which came together after Murph’s team reached out. Despite focusing on preparing for a baby, 6lack made time for the project, calling it a meaningful shift toward clarity and intentional action in 2026. The ABC broadcast, airing from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET and streaming on Hulu the next day, also features Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, and other top acts.
