Remote performances for the festival will be filmed on stages in Los Angeles and Nashville, in partnership with T-Mobile, in front of a virtual audience that will include a fan wall of iHeartRadio listeners. This year, fans will have the opportunity to introduce artists, as well as enjoy virtual meet-and-greets. Fans watching live will also have the chance to appear in a special Capital One Fan Video Wall and be serenaded by their favorite artists.
“We worked closely with the artist community to create a safe way for them to step back on stage and perform for millions of their fans on the radio and television,” said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “It’s our commitment to help the artists whose music we play here at iHeart stay connected to their fans.”
Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia, said, “It’s hard to believe that this September will be the 10th iHeartRadio Music Festival. The 2011 Festival was iHeart’s first national marquee event and became the model for our hugely successful series of iHeart-branded music events broadcast and streamed across the country on radio, television and online. More than 200 superstar artists have made our iHeartRadio Music Festival the biggest in the world, and this year’s lineup, even amidst a global pandemic, will be one for the history books.”
The weekend-long event will feature a nationwide pre-show broadcast on iHeartRadio stations that will feature backstage artist moments hosted by Elvis Duran. All summer long, iHeartRadio stations, the iHeartRadio app and iHeartPodcasts will revisit the greatest moments from the past 10 years of the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
