The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival is set to return to Las Vegas this September with a star-studded lineup that includes BTS, Cardi B, and Benson Boone, among other major artists spanning pop, hip-hop, country, and rock. The annual music event will take place on September 18 and September 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Lineup and Performers
Organizers have announced that BTS, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Zara Larsson, Snoop Dogg, Muse, Major Lazer, Lainey Wilson, Weezer, Goo Goo Dolls, and Kenny Chesney are all scheduled to perform. Additional artists are expected to be revealed at a later date. The festival will once again be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and broadcast across iHeartMedia radio stations, while viewers will also be able to stream the event on Disney+ and Hulu.
BTS's Continued Return
One of the biggest draws of this year's festival is BTS's continued return to large-scale live performances following the group's reunion after completing South Korea's mandatory military service. The appearance comes during a major comeback period for the K-pop superstars, who recently released their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, their first original full-length project since regrouping.
Benson Boone's Rising Stardom
The lineup also marks another major festival appearance for Benson Boone, whose popularity has continued to soar following a breakout few years that included multiple award nominations and chart success.
Cardi B and Other Highlights
Meanwhile, Cardi B will bring her hip-hop catalogue to the festival stage alongside fellow performers including Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, and Zara Larsson.
Festival Vision and Ticket Information
In a statement announcing the event, iHeartMedia executives said the festival is designed to bring together some of the biggest artists across every genre for two nights of live music, highlighting the diversity of today's music landscape. Tickets for the festival will go on sale to the general public on June 12 through AXS, while Capital One cardholders will receive early access through a presale beginning June 10.
With BTS continuing their comeback era, Cardi B returning to one of music's biggest festival stages, and Benson Boone's star continuing to rise, the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival is already shaping up to be one of the year's most anticipated live music events.
