Zara Larsson will share reimagined songs and inspiration behind the music with fans from her upcoming remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip ahead of its official release on May 1
New York, N.Y. – April 24, 2026 – iHeartMedia and TikTok announced today that on April 30 at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT the “iHeartRadio Album Preview with Zara Larsson” will stream LIVE on, @iheartradio, @tiktok, and @zaralarsson. Hosted at the iHeartRadio Los Angeles Theater, the preview will also broadcast on iHeartRadio CHR stations.
In celebration of Zara Larsson’s new remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, set to be released on May 1, fans will get an exclusive first-listen to songs from the new album, a performance from Zara and a special Q&A to hear her inspiration behind the new music.
If Zara’s 2025 breakthrough Midnight Sun was inspired by the feeling of an endless summer night, then Girls Trip is what happens when that night rolls into a whole season of pure pop energy. For the expanded set, the radiant Swedish star opens up her album and shouts, “Get in, girl!” to an international all-woman lineup including icons like Shakira, Robyn, Tyla, Kehlani, PinkPantheress, and more. Midnight Sun: Girls Trip crosses borders, genres, and vibes for a series of unforgettable musical moments of authentic self-expression and total freedom.
“Launching the remix of Midnight Sun with iHeartRadio and TikTok just feels right — that’s where the music is living and where the fans really are,” said Zara Larsson. “I’m so excited to finally give everyone an early taste of the remixes and special guests featured on the album and share some behind-the-scenes stories. It’s going to be a party and everyone’s invited.”
This is the third album release iHeartRadio and TikTok have partnered on, creating a next-generation release format that merges the scale of broadcast radio with the interactivity of a community-driven platform, delivering record-breaking results and outlining a new blueprint for artist launches moving forward.
“What we’ve seen with these iHeartMedia and TikTok Album Previews events is that when you combine massive reach with real fan connection, the results speak for themselves — billions of impressions, record‑breaking live engagement, and meaningful chart impact,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “This format has proven that turning an album release into a true live moment drives both discovery and fandom. Zara Larsson is an artist who thrives on authenticity and direct connection with her audience, and this kind of launch allows her to share her music and her story at scale, in a way that fans genuinely engage with. It’s exactly how new music should be introduced today.”
“TikTok LIVE is reshaping how audiences interact with their favorite artists and discover new music, and our partnership with iHeartMedia highlights the power of our engaged communities,” said Shen Gao, Head of US LIVE Operations. “Album Preview LIVEs highlight the momentum artists can continue to build on the platform around their work.”

About Zara Larsson
“Summer isn’t over yet” is more than a lyric from Zara Larsson’s perennial hit “Midnight Sun” — it’s a statement of purpose. A decade after dropping her first international single, 2015’s “Lush Life,” the GRAMMY-nominated Swedish sensation is taking her rightful place in the zeitgeist as a Main Pop Girl. In 2026, while her sold-out tour raged onward, she lodged three songs in the Hot 100: the recently viral “Lush Life” (#35, video nearing 1B views), “Midnight Sun” (#39), and PinkPantheress collab “Stateside” (#6, and #1 on the Global 200). All of that followed hot on the heels of Midnight Sun, Zara’s fourth, truest, and most vibrant album to date, made with a tight trusted team (MNEK, Margo XS, Helena Gao, Zhone) and unafraid to show all sides of the star: lovestruck, wistful, ambitious, flippant, fun, uncertain — often in the same breath. If that radiant LP was inspired by the feeling of an endless summer night in Stockholm, then the globe-trotting remix album, Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, is what happens when that night rolls into an infinite season of pure pop energy where everyone is invited. For the reinvented set, Zara opens up her acclaimed album and shouts, “GET IN, GIRL!” to a worldwide all-woman lineup including icons like Shakira, Robyn, Tyla, Kehlani, PinkPantheress, JT, and more. The collection crosses borders, genres, and vibes for a series of unforgettable musical moments of authentic self-expression, diverse artistry, and total hands-up, top-down, open-air freedom.
