ATLANTA, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- New Year's Nation (NYN), a high-end events and promotions company that leverages technology to create simultaneous social experiences for young professionals in major markets around the country, today announced that Atlanta has been selected as one of 10 host cities for NYN's simultaneous New Year's Eve celebration. The national New Year's Eve celebration, hosted locally by Haute Couture Media at Tongue & Groove, will feature onsite entertainment by DJ Eric Scott, DJ Jamal, DJ Dubstyle, DJ Scott Cannon and DJ ONE and a live, nationwide performance by Travis Barker and DJ AM (TRVSDJAM) through NYN-TV.

This year, Atlanta will join NYN's New Year's Eve celebrations in Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle for a simultaneous nationwide party across four time zones.

Through NYN-TV, guests at the NYN party in Atlanta, as well as Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York City, Portland and Seattle will be able to see TRVSDJAM's performance live on giant projection screens and dance to their music.

"Atlanta is one of the fastest growing cities for young professionals, so we knew it was time to bring the NYN party here," said Jann Yogman, President and Founder of NYN. "Tongue & Groove is a local icon that consistently draws an upscale crowd, and its state-of-the-art sound, lights and screens make it the perfect home for New Year's Nation - Atlanta."
