It's so easy to have technical glitches during a live event, but the parade was spectacular anyway!

The 2026 New Year’s Day Rose Parade was a joyous celebration of creativity and community.

Regrettably, a number of performances — including the grand finale by Capital Cities and DEK of Hearts — experienced audio challenges during the live broadcast. These issues were the result of technical failures and were not reflective of the artists or their performances. We sincerely apologize to the performers, as well as to viewers who were unable to experience the performances as intended.

Our wish is for the world to start the New Year feeling “Safe And Sound” — a message that was best portrayed by the performance of proud Pasadena locals Capital Cities. We’re happy to say that the proper audio of their performance has been recovered, and the video on the Association’s YouTube channel has been updated for your viewing pleasure.
