iHeartRadio Music Festival Turns Sweet Sixteen in Las Vegas, September 18th to 19th
The iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 brings BTS, Snoop Dogg, Muse, Kenny Chesney, Cardi B and more to Las Vegas for two unforgettable nights.
iHeartMedia is set to thrill when its flagship festival turns T-Mobile Arena into a party featuring the greatest musical artists from three continents.
The best music festivals take us on a ride that bends our ears (and reality) from one genre immersion to the next. Imagine how amplified that becomes when the diverse lineup is made entirely of chart-topping headliners. That’s what Las Vegas’ wildest live music weekend will deliver when fans of pop, K-pop, country, hip hop, rock and EDM all converge for the 16th annual iHeartRadio Music Festival.
After walking the red carpet, the world’s greatest superstars will electrify the stage.
A headliner himself and loyal host for this festival since year one, Ryan Seacrest will play MC to the head-spinning carousel of massive global talents onstage.
2026 is the year that BTS triumphantly returned to touring. This festival will mark the K-pop megastars’ 5th(!) performance in Las Vegas this year. Le Sserafim, the fastest Billboard charting K-pop girl group ever, will revisit the world’s playground on the first anniversary of their 2025 Sin City live debut.
By contrast, the long wait will finally be over for Las Vegas fans of Swedish pop champion Zara Larsson. She’s released three full albums of new music since the iHeartRadio Music Festival previously featured her as a performer in 2019!
Yellowstone star Lainey Wilson will be there to belt it out and remind us of all the “Things a Man Oughta Know.”
Hip-hop royalty from both coasts will rain lyrical fire and furious rhythms when Cardi B and Snoop Dogg dominate the stage with their respective sets.
English stadium rock titans Muse will deliver the signature sensory overload that makes their performances some of the greatest rock shows of the 21st century.
For those that prefer to rock out with less paranoia and more pop, Benson Boone, The Goo Goo Dolls and Weezer will all take turns serving up spectacular sets.
After dazzling country fans with an encore Sphere residency earlier this summer, the legendary Kenny Chesney is tuned up and ready to deliver hit after hit. He’s the Billboard Country Airplay chart record holder with 33 number-one singles!
In terms of genre-hopping, electronic chameleon Diplo takes the trophy. He’ll bring his collective of all-star dancehall misfits Major Lazer to the stage for the weekend’s hardest-hitting beats.
Your heart, my heart and iHeart will overflow with passion for two nights of epic performances.
Before the curtain closes on the final night and America’s favourite host declares, “Seacrest, out!,” we’ll have danced, sweated and sang along with some of the world’s greatest contemporary entertainers. Only iHeartMedia has the reach, the reputation and the pure passion for such diverse musical expressions to bring these beloved artists and their incredible fans together in one of the most unforgettable weekends that Las Vegas offers all year.
