The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival has unveiled a star-studded lineup featuring global K-pop sensation BTS, rapper Cardi B, singer Benson Boone, Snoop Dogg, Muse, Zara Larsson and several other major artists. The annual music event will take place on September 18 and 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Organisers announced that the festival will bring together artists from multiple genres, including pop, hip-hop, rock, country and electronic music. Other performers confirmed for the event include Lainey Wilson, Major Lazer, Weezer, Goo Goo Dolls and Kenny Chesney, while additional acts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The two-day event will once again be hosted by veteran television and radio personality Ryan Seacrest. Fans unable to attend in person will be able to listen to the performances through iHeartMedia radio stations across the United States or stream the festival live on Disney+ and Hulu.
BTS’s inclusion in the lineup has generated significant excitement among fans worldwide. The group recently returned to full-scale activities after completing South Korea’s mandatory military service and releasing its comeback album, marking a new chapter in its career. The iHeartRadio Music Festival will be one of the group’s major international appearances this year.
Festival organisers said the event aims to showcase the diversity of contemporary music by bringing together some of the biggest names from different genres for two nights of live performances and collaborations. The festival has become one of the most anticipated music events in North America, attracting thousands of fans annually.
Ticket sales for the general public are scheduled to begin on June 12, while eligible Capital One cardholders will receive early access through a special pre-sale starting June 10.
