iHeartRadio Music Festival

The iHeartRadio Music Festival, scheduled for September 19 and 20, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is a two-day music event renowned for its star-studded lineup and vibrant atmosphere. Unlike the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, which hosts large outdoor festivals like When We Were Young, T-Mobile Arena offers a more controlled, indoor concert experience with a capacity of 20,000. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the 2025 festival features a diverse roster including Bryan Adams, Ed Sheeran, Feid, GloRilla, Jelly Roll, John Fogerty, Justice, Lil Wayne, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, Tate McRae, The Offspring, Tim McGraw, and Diplo, with more artists to be announced. The event is known for unique collaborations and surprise performances, broadcast live on iHeartMedia radio stations and streamed exclusively on Hulu.

Historically, the iHeartRadio Music Festival has been a staple since 2011, initially held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena before moving to T-Mobile Arena in 2016. Its Daytime Village, a free outdoor component, was hosted at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in 2018 but has since shifted to align with the main event at T-Mobile Arena. Past lineups have included icons like Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, and Coldplay, alongside rising stars, making it a multi-genre celebration of pop, rock, hip-hop, and country. Tickets, available through AXS.com starting June 13, 2025, include single-day and two-day passes, with Capital One cardholders gaining presale access from June 11 to 13. Fans can also win trips through iHeartMedia’s summer promotions.

While the Las Vegas Festival Grounds is praised for its open-air setup, ample facilities, and festivals like When We Were Young, the iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena offers a different vibe. Attendees appreciate the arena’s air-conditioned comfort, high-energy performances on a single stage, and professional production akin to an awards show. However, some note that the indoor setting lacks the sprawling, festival-like atmosphere of outdoor venues, and past reviews mention high food prices and a desire for VIP artist meet-and-greet options. Despite this, the event’s stellar lineups and seamless organization keep it a must-attend for music fans. For the latest details, visit iHeartRadio.com/Festival.
