The crowd that will celebrate the arrival of the New Year in the Times Square area of New York will enjoy a dazzling dance and music show, in addition to the traditional fireworks.
Among the artists who will take the stage are the singer Post Malone, the Korean group BTS, the country singer Sam Hunt and the singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. Also, there will be a Chinese dance troupe.
Those chosen to press the button that will lower the crystal ball during the New Year’s countdown are a group of teachers and high school students who have campaigned on the need to fight climate change.

On the other hand, police chief Dermot Shea said that attendees should rely on security, but encouraged attendees to stay alert and notify agents if they see anything suspicious. The crowd will be monitored by more than 1,000 security cameras, police helicopters and drones.
The cameras of the New York Police Department have thermal and three-dimensional sensors, with ultra-powerful lenses that can sharply focus on any individual.
The streets next to Times Square will be closed to traffic and trucks full of sand will be stationed on the perimeter to prevent any vehicle from breaking into the crowd. In addition, all attendees will be examined with metal detectors before being distributed in one of the 65 spectator centers.
