iHeartRadio Music Awards Postponed
• The 2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards have officially been postponed — the latest live music casualty of the growing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The annual awards show, which was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 29 at The Shrine Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles and broadcast live on FOX will now be rescheduled.
In an official statement, iHeartMedia explained, “As you may know, the Shrine in Los Angeles recently announced that it is officially closed for events through March 31 at the earliest — which includes the iHeartRadio Music Awardsscheduled to air on FOX, Sunday, March 29. The safety of our guests, employees, artists and partners is our main priority. iHeartMedia and FOX will plan to reschedule at the appropriate time and will provide more information and relevant updates as they become available. Refunds are being issued to ticketed guests.”
The iHeartRadio Music Awards are fueled by fans, and all of those votes are still valid and being counted until the end of the voting period, which is 8pm ET/5pm PT on Monday, March 23, except for the “Best Fan Army Award,” which will remain open for voting open until 12 noon ET /9am PT on Friday, March 27.
