The 2020 iHeartRadio Music Festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is less than a week away ... and the lineup just got bigger — Alicia Keys and Swae Lee have been added to the already star-studded list of performing artists.
Alicia and Swae join previously announced artists including Bon Jovi, BTS, Coldplay, Kane Brown with special guest Khalid, Keith Urban, Migos, Miley Cyrus, Thomas Rhett, Usher, and more, and it’s all hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
And, in true iHeartRadio Music Festival fashion, the weekend will feature one-of-a-kind collaborations and surprise performances as many bands and artists reunite to perform together again for the first time in months. Fans will also get to see intimate backstage moments with artists as they share how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their lives and families, given the disruption in society and touring.
Fans can tune in to watch the festival live on The CW App and CWTV.com on September 18 and 19 at 9pm ET/6pm PT, and relive all of the epic performances during a two-night Festival highlights special on September 27 and 28 from 8-10pm ET/PT. The iHeartRadio Music Festival will also be broadcast on iHeartMedia stations nationwide, as well as on the iHeartRadio app.
Remote performances for the festival are filmed on stages in Los Angeles and Nashville, in front of a virtual audience that will include a fan wall of iHeartRadio listeners. And this year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival will pay tribute to the connection between fans and artists as music fans will have the opportunity to introduce artists, as well as enjoy virtual meet and greets. Finally, fans watching live will also have the chance to appear in a special fan video wall and be serenaded by their favorite artists.
A nationwide pre-show will also be broadcast on iHeartRadio stations, hosted by Elvis Duran, which will feature moments backstage with artists and more.
