New Year's Eve Celebration

Ring in the New Year with a Bang!

The Island will once again host our annual New Year’s Eve FREE concert and fireworks display on Tuesday, December 31, 2024!

The celebration starts with a DJ to get the crowd warmed up and ready to ring in the New Year! To begin the FREE concert is the Southern Rock/Blues Rock band based out of Virginia, SIX GUN. Performing in the true spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many more. While taking great pride playing the cover songs with little to no improvisation, and paying homage to the iconic bands who wrote, and recorded them, SIX GUN is also proud of the original material being written and recorded. SIX GUN is sure to get you ready to rock in the New Year!

Headlining The Island's New Year's Eve Celebration is THE BREAKFAST CLUB® which is the longest running, most recognized ’80’s tribute band in the United States. Formed in 1993, the group was the first of its kind. The mission was simple: create an entertainment group that embodied the enigmatic, creative, and buoyant spirit of music and live performances of the original MTV generation of the 1980’s. That mission remains today.

This is NOT some wig wearing, mall fashion version of an ‘80’s cover band, lip syncing to tracks while pretending to play an unplugged guitar. This is real hair, real 1980s clothes, real vocals, and real musical talent. The Breakfast Club® is the real deal, performing live ‘80’s pop “better than the original artists” - Wilmington Star News. The guys of The Breakfast Club® have shared the stage with numerous music legends, including but not limited to, Whitesnake, The Romantics, Poison, Drivin’n’Cryin’, Hootie and The Blowfish, White Lion, The Smithereens, Edwin McCain, and many others. You don't want to miss this great performance!

The evening ends when we countdown to 2025 and ring in the New Year with Midnight Fireworks! This amazing display of fireworks can be seen from all around the area. The Island New Year's Eve Fireworks soundtrack will be broadcast LIVE on Knoxville radio station WIVK 107.7 FM. You don't want to miss this great event!

The Island in Pigeon Forge will be open on Tuesday, December 31 from 10 a.m. to midnight, and we’re excited to offer families the opportunity to celebrate and make cherished memories together while ringing in the New Year in spectacular fashion! Join us on New Year’s Eve for a day of family fun and incredible midnight fireworks, and let’s kick off 2025 with a bang!
