iHeartRadio announce 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival Daytime Village performers

The sixth annual iHeartRadio Music Festival may be taking place this September, but the yearly event has just unveiled who well be hitting the stage at their daytime village. On Thursday (April 7), it was announced that acts like the recently reunited Good Charlotte, Panic! at the Disco, Cold War Kids, and Cage the Elephant will perform at the festival’s Daytime Village.

The Chainsmokers, Jeremih, Daya, and Lissie will join the four bands as well as previously announced artists, Sam Hunt and Alessia Cara. The iHeartRadio Music Festival’s Daytime Village event will return to the Las Vegas Village across from the Luxor Hotel and Casino on Sept. 24.

“In just three years, the Daytime Village has become the perfect complement to the historic iHeartRadio Music Festival,” said president of national programming group for iHeartMedia Tom Poleman. “Fans love the village vibe where they can check out their favorite artists in all different genres while partying on the strip with their favorite iHeartRadio personalities.”

This year, the iHeartRadio Music Festival will celebrate its sixth-year anniversary. While the Daytime Village performers have been announced, those waiting for the actual festival performers will have to wait a little longer. That lineup will reportedly be announced later this summer. The iHeartRadio Music Festival will take place on Friday, Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24.

iHeartRadio Music Festival Announce 2015 Line-Up

Months after announcing the return of their annual music festival, iHeartMedia has now revealed the identity of those performers who will be heading to Las Vegas in September for the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

Fall Out Boy, The Killers, Duran Duran, Disclosure, Coldplay, and The Who are just some of the big names who will be taking the stage at the fifth annual iHeartRadio Music Festival.

The 2015 line-up will also include Sam Smith, Janet Jackson, The Weeknd, David Guetta, Kenny Chesney, Prince Royce, Diplo, Jason Derulo, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Blake Shelton. This year’s line-up seems to give every music taste a little bit of something to look forward to.

The festival will take place during the weekend of Sept. 18-19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Ryan Seacrest will, once again, host the event.

Tickets for the general public will go on sale beginning this Saturday, Aug. 1.

For those who won’t be able to make it to Vegas, there’s no need to worry. The festival will be live streamed on Yahoo! and iHeartMedia’s plethora of radio stations. Like last year, the festival will air as a two-day special on The CW Network on Sept. 29-30; a week or so after the live event.

In addition to the big names taking the nighttime main stage, the festival will also include outdoor daytime performances at the MGM Resorts Village on Sept. 19. Previously announced artists for that include Demi Lovato, Hozier, Tove Lo, Trey Songz, Walk the Moon, Nick Jonas, Big Sean, Lee Brice, Echosmith and James Bay.

Echosmith, Trey Songz,  George Ezra, Tori Kelly, James Bay, Shawn Mendes, Zella Day, and The Struts will also entertain fans during the day, while also giving attendees a chance to look at the “future of music in one afternoon,” at least according to John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia.

“The Daytime Village has quickly become a showcase for the most exciting young artists in the world,” said Sykes.

“This is a great way to see the future of music in one afternoon.”

“We can’t wait for this year’s Daytime Village at the iHeartRadio Music Festival! Some of our biggest on-air personalities will be inviting their fans to hang out with them on the Vegas Strip while they check out performances from both the hit makers and the hottest emerging artists in the world,” said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for iHeartMedia.

The iHeartRadio Music Festival Daytime Village will return to the MGM Resorts Village across from the Luxor Hotel and Casino.

As of now, the media mega-company has yet to announce any of the artists who will actually perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival set to take place during the evening of Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19.

The company does tease that the announcement will come sometime this Summer.

For those interested in attending the Daytime Village, tickets are currently available here.

iHeartRadio Music Festival 2013 - Day 1.JPEG-0aae0

Remember how happy we were last week when we announced that fun. would be performing alongside the remaining members of Queen and Adam Lambert at the iHeartRadio Music Festival this past weekend. Well, we were definitely excited even though we weren’t able to make it to Las Vegas (or the festival for that matter) to give you a firsthand encounter of the event.

The same night after the show, Lambert actually took to his Twitter to give fans the chance to watch the performance of that evening even if they couldn’t make it to Sin City themselves.

The video from the show can be seen below (FYI, you can forward to the 11:10 mark to see the beginning of fun. joining in on the show).

Drake to Reschedule Upcoming Tour

Those that were hoping that Drake would be coming to a city near you as part of his North American tour, might just have to wait a little longer because it was just confirmed that the rapper’s tour has been pushed back.

Today, Drake’s rep confirmed through a press release that the show has indeed been pushed back  “due to an intense rehearsal schedule and technical production requirements that will be part of the show.

“The 39-city arena tour will now kick off October 18 in Pittsburgh, PA. Stops in Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Cleveland have been canceled due to the rescheduling. Refunds for the cancelled dates are available,” read the full press release.

The newly re-vamped version of the Would You Like A Tour? show will kick off on October 18 in Pittsburgh, PA at the PA Consol Energy Center. Stops for the 39-date tour will include stops in Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and will eventually wrap up on December 16 in  Auburn Hills, MI at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

While the tour has been pushed back, it doesn’t look like Drake is taking the time for granted; the former actor has appearances line-up for the next week. Today, he’s scheduled to perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show while tomorrow he will be taking the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

Fun. Meets Queen at the iHeartRadio Music Festival

fun

Fun. frontman, Nate Ruess might have been suffering from some vocal conditions last week which left him unavailable to perform at a festival with Mumford & Sons, but it looks like things are looking up just in time for the singer.

It was reported that the “We Are Young” crooner and the rest of his band, will be appearing with classic rock icons, Queen, during the iHeartRadio Music Festival tomorrow. The show, which has now become an annual event with some of the biggest artists in music taking to the stage will take place at MGM Grand Garden Arena, will be taking over Las Vegas for the next two days.

Billboard reported that an inside source had seen Ruess rehearsing with Brian May and Roger Taylor on some tracks including “Somebody to Love” and “Fat Bottomed Girls” this past Tuesday, September 17.

Ruess isn’t the only musician that has joined Queen in the past; one of the most famous musicians to have joined the band is former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert. For quite sometime, the former reality TV show contestant had been filling the frontman position and will be resurrecting that role during Queen’s performance at the music festival.

The festival is slated to start tomorrow and for the first time ever, will feature a Fan Village officially named  the iHeartRadio Music Festival Village which will include performances by Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, AWOLNATION, Pete Tong, Twenty One Pilots and Jason Derulo.

Friday’s performers on the main stage will include  Katy Perry, Elton John, Keith Urban, J. Cole, Muse, Tiesto, Chris Brown and Benny Benassi while Saturday’s line up will feature  Paul McCartney, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Miley Cyrus, Tim McGraw and Bruno Mars and many more.

Who else is looking forward to Fun. and Queen maybe performing “We Are Young” together?
