You may “heart” radio, but instead, it’s time to turn the TV on because fans who can’t make the iHeartRadio Music Festival this weekend can stream the full lineup at home. The 2026 festival takes over the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19, with BTS, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Ciara, LE SSERAFIM, Snoop Dogg, Muse, Lainey Wilson, Weezer and more on the bill, with Ryan Seacrest returning as host.
