One Direction are to see in 2016, by performing at a New Year’s Eve live telecast.

The four-piece – Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – will appear on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest, but rather than being in New York City’s Times Square with the host, they will actually be playing at the Billboard Hollywood Party in Los Angeles.

Carrie Underwood, Demi Lovato, Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth and Luke Bryan will help Ryan do the countdown in the Big Apple.

Wiz and Charlie will play their hit, See You Again, while Demi will sing songs from her new album, Confident.

One Direction, who released their fifth album Made In The A.M. in November, are set to take a break over Christmas.

They will reunite to continue promoting their record in February, before embarking on their hiatus next year.
