Sam Ryder has been chosen by the BBC, to bring in 2023 on BBC One, with a musical extravaganza either side of the traditional London Fireworks. Sam will be joined by a number of musical Acts, who will be announced in due course.

Sam Ryder had the following to say after the announcement:

“I can’t think of a better way to round off 2022 than singing some of my favourite songs with some very special guests. It’s been such an incredible 12 months full of fabulous blessings thanks to fabulous people, and I’m so excited to bring in 2023 with you! As always, thank you for the opportunity!”

Mel Balac, Creative Director for BBC Studios Entertainment, had the following to say:

“Sam will be performing an exclusive set of NYE bangers with some unexpected musical surprises and unique twists along the way. Sam’s energy and charisma is off the scale as a performer and it promises to be one heck of a party for BBC One viewers.”
