The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball is back, and isn’t letting a pandemic stop the holiday cheer and music’s biggest artists from taking the socially-distanced stage.
Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes and more will perform at this year’s virtual event, as well as share their personal holiday traditions and deliver never-before-heard covers of iconic holiday songs.
Update (Dec. 9): BTS, Lil Nas X and Mariah Carey have been added to the lineup. Carey will make an appearance, while BTS will “perform a snippet of a holiday classic,” and Lil Nas X “will discuss his love of the holidays.”
Update (Nov. 19): The Weeknd has been added to the lineup.
“For 25 years, iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball has showcased performances from the year’s biggest artists in hit music, live on stage in front of screaming fans,” said Tom Poleman, chief programming officer for iHeartMedia. “Because of the pandemic, we’re moving from the stage to the artists home this holiday season for what will be an unforgettable show with amazing performances and moments that can only happen at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.”
The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball will broadcast across more than 95 iHeartMedia CHR radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, the CW app and CWTV.com on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
