In the UK, meanwhile, Sam Ryder has announced a special New Year’s Eve show on BBC One and iPlayer, Sam Ryder’s All Star New Year’s Eve.
The Eurovision 2022 runner-up is set to perform “classic tunes and a number of special duets” on TV on December 31 following London’s first full NYE fireworks display since 2019.
Announcing the event on BBC Radio 2 today (November 22), Ryder told Zoe Ball: “I can’t think of a better way to round off 2022 than singing some of my favourite songs with some very special guests.
Earlier this year, J-hope spoke to NME backstage at Lollapalooza 2022 and told us how it feels to be the first South Korean artist to headline a major US festival, what it’s like to have fans supporting his first solo album, and what’s next for BTS.
“I learned a lot as a solo artist,” he said. “I think I will continue to grow through this album. I’d like to show even better music through my solo projects. This experience has given me a positive influence overall.”
The 28-year-old also released his debut solo album, ‘Jack In The Box’, this summer. Boasting the singles ‘MORE’ and ‘Arson’, a five-star review saw the effort lauded by NME‘s Rhian Daly as “thought-provoking and full of fresh new flavour”.
