The holiday concert season just got a major boost: iHeartRadio has unveiled the star-packed artist lineups for its annual Jingle Ball Tour this December. Headlining the multi-city tour are pop powerhouse Ed Sheeran, rock-rap star Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), and Broadway-to-pop phenom Reneé Rapp – a fresh mix that spans generations and genres. In total, dozens of performers will hit stages in ten major markets, from Dallas and Los Angeles to New York and Miami. Other featured acts include country-pop hitmaker Jelly Roll, rapper Nelly, breakout star Conan Gray, K-pop sensation MONSTA X, rising alt-pop singer Jessie Murph, and many more.
Tom Poleman, chief programming officer of iHeartMedia, promised the tours will be as festive as ever: “The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball brings together the year’s biggest pop stars and the most passionate fans for a celebration that launches the holidays in an unforgettable way,” he said in a statement. Indeed, each stop will feel like a mini-festival of hits – past Jingle Balls have delivered viral singalongs and surprise duets, and this year’s schedule looks no different. The Los Angeles show (Dec. 5) will feature Ed Sheeran alongside Conan Gray and BLACKPINK’s Jennie, while the massive Madison Square Garden date (Dec. 12) will find Sheeran sharing the stage with Reneé Rapp, Conan Gray, Laufey, and more. Every concert is set to include a “K-pop Demon Hunters” sing-along moment, continuing a fan-favorite tradition from last year’s tour.
And iHeartRadio is doubling down on the holiday spirit: the entire Jingle Ball tour will be filmed for a TV special airing on ABC in mid-December (with a streaming debuts on Hulu). Tickets go on sale Oct. 3, and fans are already lining up to grab them. With Sheeran’s ballads, MGK’s anthems, Rapp’s show-stopping vocals, and a little dose of everything in between, the 2025 Jingle Ball promises to be a festive concert event that plenty of listeners won’t want to miss.
