BTS, Cardi B, and Lainey Wilson are set to play the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival, which will take place this September in Las Vegas.

The two-day blowout features a packed lineup from artists across the worlds of pop, rap, country, rock, and EDM. Benson Boone, Snoop Dogg, and Goo Goo Dolls are also set to perform, as are Kenny Chesney, Major Lazer, Weezer, and Zara Larsson. More artists will be announced, too.

The 2026 iHeartRadio fest will take place Sept. 18 and 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. The show will be broadcast live on iHeartMedia radio stations, while a livestream will be hosted on Disney+ and Hulu.

Tickets for iHeartRadio fest will go on sale June 12 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. ET via AXS. A presale for Capital One cardholders will run from June 10 at 10 a.m. PT through June 12 at 10 a.m. PET, or while pre-sale tickets last.

For BTS, the festival marks another big show on the Korean band’s massive comeback tour. After a multiyear hiatus as all seven members completed their mandatory military service and embarked on solo careers, BTS released a new album, Arirang, and kicked off a massive world tour. The recent Rolling Stone cover stars were just in Las Vegas to perform at the American Music Awards — and win Artist of the Year — and they’ll kick off a fresh round of North American tour dates in August.

As for some of the other big-name acts, Cardi B spent much of this spring touring in support of her 2025 record, Am I the Drama?, while Lainey Wilson just released a new single, “Can’t Sit Still,” and has tour dates scheduled throughout the summer.

The Game Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar — and He Brought Drake With Him

Last night, Los Angeles rapper the Game released his latest album, The Documentary III, a sprawling 24-track epic in which the highly opinionated West Coast rap staple lets a few things off his chest. Featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Ye, YG, Black Thought, Larry June and others, the album also finds Game seemingly airing out some long-simmering feelings about none other than Kendrick Lamar. Most notably, he links up with Kendrick’s most famous nemesis, Drake, on the track “No Brakes.” (Drake ominously offers the hook, but no bars, alas.)

The apparent animosity has been bubbling for some time. Game and Kendrick were once publicly aligned: In 2011, Game joined Snoop Dogg and other West Coast veterans for a ceremonial passing of the torch to Kendrick. Things haven’t gone so smoothly since. Recently, TDE’s general orbit has appeared on podcasts and in interviews suggesting a hint of tension between the two going back to before any of Drake and Kendrick’s public beef.
