Get ready to ring in the New Year with a pair of hip-hop heavyweights and a side of Cherry Chapstick.

NBC New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly 2009 has confirmed that Ludacris, 50 Cent, and Katy Perry will perform live from Times Square as part of this year’s lineup.

“The network gave us a huge vote of confidence by asking us to expand into primetime,” Carson said in a statement Monday. “We’ve got great music with 50 Cent, Katy Perry, Ludacris. It’s gonna be a huge show, bigger than the Beijing Olympics and if it’s not, I apologize.”

The show kicks off at 10 p.m. (ET) and is expected to continue into the night.
