The iHeartRadio Music Festival is a two-day music concert festival held every year on the third or fourth weekend of September since 2011 by iHeartRadio along the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
From 2011 to 2015, the festival was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2013, iHeartRadio added the free Daytime Village at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, which took place at Las Vegas Village until it was moved to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in 2018. In 2016, the iHeartRadio Music Festival moved to the T-Mobile Arena (in unincorporated Paradise), and has hosted the main portion of the festival since.
The annual event has aired as a television special every year since its launch. In 2011, the event was televised by VH1, while every edition from 2012 to 2022 has been broadcast by The CW, kicking off that network's fall television season. Beginning with the 2023 festival, the concert was streaming exclusively on Hulu, although a free option remains available via iHeartRadio's stations.
According to Billboard, the main festival "showcases some of the most well-established artists in the genre" while the village showcases emerging artists. In 2013, the magazine wrote that the festival had "quickly established itself as a home to every major artist."
The iHeartRadio Music Festival is part of iHeartMedia's roster of major concert events including the nationwide iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Concert Tour, iHeartCountry Festival and the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Press coverage
Entertainment Weekly in its review of the inaugural festival called out the rotating stage as a mechanism that kept the show on schedule, noting that the festival "was all about instant gratification" with a general focus on radio hits. In 2012, the angry departure of singer Billie Joe Armstrong from the stage after organizers ended the Green Day set prematurely prompted coverage by news outlets such as Billboard, MTV, Fuse and Huffington Post. The year was also noted for a number of duets, including when unexpected performer Prince joined Mary J. Blige for two numbers, when P!nk sang "Just A Girl" with No Doubt, and when Swedish House Mafia teamed up with Usher in performing their song "Euphoria". In 2014, Billboard commented on the recent radio successes of the performers on the Daytime Village stage, stating that "With so many performers that had recently broken out of relative obscurity with smash singles, the iHeartRadio Village felt like a Top 40 playlist put on shuffle." In 2014, the Associated Press noted that a few surprises had been mixed with the show's "steady dose of hits", including an appearance of the Black Eyes Peas' Will.I.Am on stage with DJ Steve Aoki and "unexpected appearances" by Alicia Keys and Jason DeRulo.
