Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill had the following to say about the show, "I can think of no place I'd rather play New Year's Eve than at home with 100,000 of my closest friends."

Butch Spyridon, president and CEO of the NCVC, adds "The Kings' following internationally is beyond impressive - no doubt they are one of the biggest rock bands in the world right now.

"Not only are they great musicians, but they love Nashville and are great ambassadors for us. We are honored to have them play their hometown and know it takes our event to a new level in terms of reach and expectations."
