It is never too early to make plans for New Year’s Eve, and Mobile announced today the lineup for the MoonPie Over Mobile 2024 celebration.

The 16th year of the MoonPie Over Mobile will be hard to beat with the entertainment lineup of five hip-hop legends scheduled to entertain more than 50,000 revelers at this free event. Slick Rick, Rob Base, Big Daddy Kane, Dana Dana and Yo-Yo (Yolanda Whitaker) will serve up beats to keep the night moving.

Each legend will perform their own set leading up to one epic countdown at midnight. Having five headliners perform in one evening is a first for MoonPie Over Mobile, and with it being the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it’s destined to be a celebration like no other.

Kicking off the evening will be the opening act, Yeah Probably. Based out of Mobile, this crew of passionate players blends every bit of musicality and diversity to provide a show that creates a truly unique experience. With an excellent display of smooth harmony, grooving vibes and melodic flow, they have quickly become the crowned jewel of soul and pop in Alabama. Your host for the evening, spinning hits and keeping the crowd hyped before, between and after sets, is the one-and-only DJ Blayze.

The festivities during the day include a Kids’ Zone with family-friendly fun in Mardi Gras Park and a MoonPie Drop for kids. In the evening there will be a resolution wall for attendees to post their hopes and dreams for the new year, a best-decorated umbrella contest, the cutting of the world’s largest, edible MoonPie baked by Chattanooga Bakery and a second-line parade led by Port City Secondliners and the Jukebox Brass Band. Moments before midnight, the crowd will count down into the new year while the street party peaks with the ceremonial dropping of the world’s largest, electronic MoonPie as the clock strikes 2024.
