Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj perform on NBC New Year’s Eve

Rapper Lil Wayne confirmed that he will tape a performance alongside Nicki Minaj on Thursday (December 16) for NBC’s New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly.

The two-hour special will also feature a performance from New Jersey rock band, My Chemical Romance, reports MTV.

U2’s Bono and The Edge will join Daly for an interview about their upcoming Broadway show, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The rock musical has been in previews since November and is scheduled to officially open January 11.

The New Year’s Eve celebrations begin on NBC at 10 pm Eastern time and continue through to the famous countdown in New York City, where over one million spectators will gather to watch the ball drop. Today correspondents Natalie Morales and Amy Robach will be covering the events from the heart of Times Square.

Daly said he’s also looking forward to having a late-night drink with a few rock stars. "Sitting down and drinking champagne with Bono and The Edge is on my ‘bucket list’ — so getting to do that is awesome!" he said.
