With the Peach Drop, Atlanta's iconic New Year's Eve celebration, moving back to Underground Atlanta this year, it's only fitting the celebration keep with their nostalgic theme.
Atlanta-based R&B groups Jagged Edge and 112, along with alternative rock group Better Than Ezra, will perform as part of the 30th-annual celebration’s musical lineup.
The performance is part of the acts' joint tour dubbed The Xperience and marks Jagged Edge's second stint in the city this year. In October, the group behind Grammy winning hit "Let's Get Married" and "Where the Party At" performed as part of the So So Def 25th anniversary concert in State Farm Arena.

Last year, 112 released the album Q, Mike, Slim, Daron, their first in 12 years. The group is known for R&B classics “Cupid” and won a Grammy for their feature on rapper Diddy’s 1997 hit “I’ll Be Missing You.”
New Orleans-based Better Than Ezra released its previous album All Together Now in 2014.
