iHeartRadio Music Festival Sept 18–19

iHeartMedia said on June 2 that the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival will take place on Sept. 18 and 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, extending the company’s annual two-night live music event into its 16th year. The lineup announced by the company includes BTS, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Weezer and Zara Larsson. Ryan Seacrest is set to host, and iHeart said more performers will be announced later. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale to the general public on June 13 through AXS, while Hulu will again serve as the official streaming destination. ### Which artists are actually on the announced lineup? The June 2 lineup release names 11 acts, not just the six artists highlighted in early coverage. iHeart’s official festival page lists BTS, Benson Boone, Cardi B, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Weezer and Zara Larsson, and says additional names are still to come. (iheart.com) The Las Vegas dates are Friday, Sept. 18, and Saturday, Sept. 19, according to iHeart’s announcement. The event is presented by Capital One and will again be held at T-Mobile Arena, the festival’s regular home in Las Vegas. ### When do tickets go on sale, and where? (iheart.com) June 13 is the date iHeart gave for the general public ticket sale. The company said tickets will be available through AXS, the ticketing platform used for the event. Capital One cardholders are also part of the sales rollout tied to the festival sponsor. iHeart’s announcement says cardholders will have access to a presale before the broader public on-sale, following the sponsor-backed format the company has used for prior festival editions. (iheart.com) ### How can people watch if they are not in Las Vegas? Hulu is returning as the festival’s official streaming destination, according to iHeart’s June 2 announcement. The company said both nights of the event will be available to watch through Hulu, continuing the arrangement used for the 2025 festival. (iheart.com) The festival page also says fans can follow coverage through iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app. That keeps the event tied to iHeart’s radio and streaming platforms even as the live video component sits with Hulu. ### Who is hosting, and what kind of event is this? (iheart.com) Ryan Seacrest is set to host the 2026 festival, iHeart said. The company describes the event as a two-day, multi-genre show built around major pop, country, hip-hop and rock acts sharing the same stage over one weekend. (iheart.com) The festival page says the event is now in its 16th year and has historically mixed current chart acts with legacy names. iHeart’s description says the format is built around “two nights of non-stop” performances and collaborations at T-Mobile Arena each September. ### What happens next before September? June 13 is the next key date for fans, because that is when general ticket sales begin on AXS. iHeart has also said more artists will be announced, which means the current 11-act bill is not yet final. (iheart.com) Sept. 18 and 19 are the event dates, with Hulu set to stream both nights and Seacrest returning as host. (iheart.com) T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas remains the venue listed on iHeart’s official festival page. (iheart.com)
