About iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026
The iHeartRadio Music Festival is an arena show rather than a field, and that is the point: two nights at T-Mobile Arena, one stage, fifteen acts who would otherwise never share a bill. The sixteenth edition runs September 18 and 19, hosted by Ryan Seacrest and streamed in full on Disney+ and Hulu.
Friday is BTS, Cardi B, Kenny Chesney, Weezer, Goo Goo Dolls and Zara Larsson. Saturday is Muse, Snoop Dogg, The Smashing Pumpkins, Major Lazer, Benson Boone, Ciara, Lainey Wilson, LE SSERAFIM and a special performance from Stella Lefty. The format rewards the collaborations and one-off covers that only happen when a K-pop group, a country stadium act and a nineties alt-rock band are backstage at the same time.
Expect pop, alt-rock, k-pop and hip-hop across 15 acts.

iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 lineup & schedule: all 15 acts
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre.
Cardi B
Bronx rap delivered at full volume with the comic timing of someone who was very funny online first.
Hip-hopRap
Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale, with riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage.
Alt-rockArena-rock
Snoop Dogg
Thirty years of West Coast rap delivered in the least hurried voice in music.
Hip-hopG-funk
Buffalo rock band behind 'Iris', 'Slide' and 'Name', a run of late '90s radio staples that a whole field can still sing word for word.
Alt-rockPop-rock
Kenny Chesney
Stadium country built on beaches and last summers, and a live following that treats each tour as a reunion.
CountryCountry-rock
Rivers Cuomo's long-running power-pop institution, still balancing crunching guitars against sweetly miserable melodies, with three decades of hooks and sweaters.
Alternative
Swedish pop machinery at its shiniest, from 'Lush Life' to main-character bangers, delivered with total command.
PopDance-pop
Washington-raised singer whose piano ballads went enormous with "Beautiful Things," delivered live with backflips off the drum riser.
Pop
Ciara
Crunk&B and choreography, from 'Goodies' onward, and still one of the sharpest dancers to front a pop show.
R&BPop
Bell-bottoms, Louisiana drawl and a run of CMA hardware make her the hardest-working woman in mainstream country right now, with the catalog to back the swagger.
Country
LE SSERAFIM
K-pop with the choreography sharpened to a point and a sound that keeps drifting toward club music.
K-popPop
Diplo's dancehall-electronic party machine is pure festival serotonin, with 'Lean On' and a dozen more global smashes in one set.
DancehallElectronic
Los Angeles songwriter pairing pop hooks with country storytelling, whose breakout 'Boston' spread from TikTok to the Billboard Hot 100.
Singer/songwriter
Chicago's alt-rock monument, with Mellon Collie-scale guitars at home in Grant Park and Corgan drama at full wingspan.
Alt-rock
The headliners
Muse · Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale, with riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage. A band that has been playing arenas so long they design for them.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Stella Lefty · Billed as a special performance, which at this festival usually means something is up.
Benson Boone · Piano ballads and backflips, in roughly equal measure.
Other acts worth planning around
The Smashing Pumpkins · Billy Corgan's catalogue, still loud.
