The Holiday Music Moment Fans Wait for All Year

The holiday season is full of traditions. For music fans, iHeartRadio Jingle Ball is one of them.

The 2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One is back with an all-star lineup featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Hilary Duff, Jonas Brothers, SOMBR, Charlie Puth, RAYE, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, OneRepublic, Ludacris, Teddy Swims, SIENNA SPIRO and more.

From December 1 through December 17, the tour will stop in Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Nashville. ABC will also bring the celebration to fans nationwide with an exclusive holiday special in December, available the next day on Hulu, Disney+ and VOD.

Every stop brings together the artists, songs and fans that shaped the year. The result is more than a concert. It is a shared holiday moment that starts in the arena and keeps moving across culture and conversation.

Why Jingle Ball Matters for Brands

For brands, Jingle Ball offers a chance to join a moment fans are already excited to experience, share and talk about.

It combines the energy of live music with the reach of iHeart. On-air promotion, podcasts, streaming, social content, influencers, digital storytelling and national television can carry a brand's presence far beyond a single night.

That scale is hard to match. In 2025, Jingle Ball generated 38.8 billion social impressions and engaged approximately 1 billion music fans through nationwide promotion. With more than 13 weeks of promotion across 95+ stations, the opportunity builds before the tour begins and continues after the final performance.

With iHeart reaching 9 out of 10 Americans every month, a brand’s presence can build well before the show and reach fans nationwide.

A Natural Place for Brands to Show Up

The best brand experiences do not interrupt the moment. They make it better.

Jingle Ball gives marketers room to create something useful, memorable or worth sharing, whether that means giving fans closer access to an artist, creating an interactive experience, surprising someone with a seat upgrade or turning a live moment into content that travels beyond the venue.

Because the tour unfolds during one of the busiest shopping and advertising periods of the year, brands can connect holiday visibility with the excitement, fandom and real-world energy of live music.
