Las Vegas is gearing up for a two-night music blitz this fall as iHeartRadio brings its 2026 Music Festival to T-Mobile Arena on Sept. 18 and 19. Headliners BTS, Benson Boone and Weezer top a mixed-genre lineup, with Ryan Seacrest hosting and the whole production set to reach far beyond the arena floor.
Lineup And How To Watch
iHeartMedia has rolled out the roster for the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One, featuring BTS, Benson Boone, Cardi B, the Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Weezer and Zara Larsson, according to The Associated Press. Festival executives Tom Poleman and John Sykes described the bill as a broad cross-section of current music and said it "truly reflects the incredible diversity of music today." Fans who cannot make it to the Strip can listen on iHeartMedia radio stations or stream the festival on Disney+ and Hulu, per the AP report.
Tickets, Presales And Where To Buy
Capital One cardholders get first crack with a limited presale starting June 10, while general public tickets go on sale June 12 through AXS.com, where the event listing details presale and on-sale times. T-Mobile Arena's event page confirms the two-night run and offers FAQs and venue policies to help fans prep for the shows. Ticketholders are urged to review bag policies, entry procedures and recommended arrival times on the venue site before they head to the Strip.
BTS' Return Keeps Vegas Buzzing
BTS is riding a major comeback wave heading into the festival, returning earlier this year with the full-length ARIRANG album after members completed mandatory military service, a release that has kept the group front and center in pop headlines. Local coverage chronicled a citywide Stripwide "The City" takeover tied to BTS stadium dates in Las Vegas, a run that helped transform concert weekends into citywide fan experiences. The iHeartRadio Music Festival now gives fans a shot at catching BTS alongside multiple big-name acts in one arena instead of hopping between residencies and stadium tours.
What Vegas Should Expect
iHeartMedia radio listeners will see a flurry of promotions as stations give away exclusive trips to Las Vegas tied to the festival, according to News3LV. With two nights booked at a major arena and BTS among the headliners, traffic and hotel demand around the Strip are expected to spike on Sept. 18 and 19, so fans are encouraged to plan ahead and book early. For ticket details and the latest updates, check AXS and the T-Mobile Arena site.
