2020 iHeart Jingle Ball Will Come To You
• Neither rain, nor snow… nor a worldwide pandemic… will prevent iHeartMedia from presenting its 25-year-old annual holiday concert tradition — the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Presented by Capital One will go on, this year as a virtual event, featuring performances from Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes and more TBA.
This year’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball is happening on Thursday, December 10 at 9pm ET/6pm PT and will be broadcast across more than 95 iHeartMedia Top 40 radio stations and on the iHeartRadio app and stream on The CW app and CWTV.com. The CW Network will also broadcast the event as an exclusive nationwide television special on Monday, December 14 at 8pm ET/PT.
“For 25 years, iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball has showcased performances from the year’s biggest artists in hit music, live on stage in front of screaming fans,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “Because of the pandemic, we’re moving from the stage to the artists’ home this holiday season for what will be an unforgettable show with amazing performances and moments that can only happen at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.”
John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia, commented, “This year, the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball shows its resiliency by giving music fans a rare opportunity to go inside the homes of the biggest artists of the year for a special look at how they celebrate the holidays and hear them perform the most listened to songs of the year. And, as always they can listen nationwide on their favorite iHeartRadio stations and see it all on The CW Network.”
• As an appetizer, if you will, to this year’s Jingle Ball, The CW will televise a one-hour iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Greatest Moments special, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the event on Thursday, December 3 at 8pm ET/PT.
