Who is Performing?
Over a dozen household names are confirmed to be involved, although the run-of-show is under embargo until the event begins. Unlike other live music festivals, the iHeartRadio Music Festival doesn’t limit itself to one genre.
In the past, the show has included simultaneous performances by legacy acts, current Billboard Hot 100-topping artists, and breakout artists. The festival will continue to broadly represent the mainstream music scene, with the addition of “more than a dozen superstars.”
Venue and Logistics
The event will take place at Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders. The venue was chosen for its capacity and modern infrastructure. Allegiant Stadium can seat more than 60,000 in concert configurations, allowing the iHeartRadio event to accommodate a massive live audience.
Logistics include extensive security planning with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, a traffic plan for both the Strip and Interstate 15, and staging that allows quick artist changeovers.
