Nashville, TN – British Airways will usher in 2018 – the year it inaugurates nonstop service between Music City and London – with a 6:00 pm CST/midnight U.K. time countdown led by Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and English rocker Peter Frampton.

 

The British New Year countdown will kick-off Jack Daniel’s Music City Midnight: New Year’s Eve in Nashville. Legendary English rock musician and guitarist Frampton, a longstanding Nashville resident, will join Mayor Barry on the Jack Daniel’s Stage to raise the “Music Note,” toast to friends in the U.K. and kick off the fireworks.

 

The cozy, pop-up British Airways pub will be open throughout the festivities, complete with British spirits, memorabilia, and a commemorative photo booth and green screen to transport guests to London through several classic backdrops. Visitors can also enter to win a pair of tickets for travel on the airline’s new service from Nashville to London, which first takes off from Nashville International Airport on May 4, 2018. Superstar Keith Urban will announce the winner later in the evening.
