“This year’s festival will be historic for many reasons,” Tom Poleman, chief programming officer for iHeartMedia, said in a statement. “Not only will it be the first time all of these artists are together on the same stage, but also because it’ll be in front of a live audience. We’ve all been waiting for this moment, live music is back, and we’ll be celebrating like never before.”
The iHeartRadio Music Festival will be exclusively livestreamed by the CW network, via the CW app and CWTV.com. iHeartMedia radio stations will broadcast the festival live across more than 150 markets.
