Jelly Roll, Mariah Carey, and Ed Sheeran Headline the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival—But Why Isn’t It in Daytona?

Well, it’s official. The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival is rolling into Las Vegas with a lineup so stacked it might need a chiropractor. We’re talkin’ Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, and—wait for it—LL COOL J, Sammy Hagar, and The Offspring. If you’ve got a musical taste bud left un-tingled by that mix, we’re honestly impressed.

The two-night sonic circus is set for Sept. 19 and 20 at the T-Mobile Arena, with Ryan Seacrest doing what he does best—smiling into a mic and pretending he’s not exhausted. The whole shindig will also be livestreamed exclusively on Hulu, because of course it will. Don’t have Hulu? You know what to do.

And just when you thought the artist mashups couldn’t get more chaotic, they throw in Bryan Adams, GloRilla, Feid, Tim McGraw, Justice, John Fogerty, and a few more names we wouldn’t mind partying with if they brought the right bottle. It’s like Coachella met your dad’s classic rock playlist and then ran into Gen Z at a Red Bull booth.

Now, here’s where we get a little salty.

Vegas gets the party (again). Meanwhile, Daytona Beach—home of the absolutely mind-melting Welcome to Rockville—sits there with open arms and 200,000 sweaty fans willing to scream their lungs out in November. So we’ve got to ask: Hey, iHeart… why not bring the next big bash to the Daytona International Speedway? It’s already proven it can handle the masses, the madness, and the music. Just saying—we’ve got room, sand, and zero shortage of tattoos.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 13 at AXS.com, with presale magic available for Capital One cardholders starting June 11. Oh, and if you snag that Access Pass, you’ll get to hobnob with LL COOL J or Jelly Roll backstage like some kind of music Illuminati.

We’re not saying we’re jealous of Vegas… but actually yeah, that’s exactly what we’re saying.

And while you’re marking calendars and refreshing browsers for presale codes, don’t forget to download the Static Live Music Calendar app—the one and only place to track live shows, festivals, and music madness across the East Coast of Florida (Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, Flagler Beach, and beyond).
We’re expanding soon—so if your town’s not on the app yet, hang tight.
