The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Awaits; Here’s The First Lineup
2020 has proven to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride, but it’s safe to say that some of the happenings from the music world have helped make it a tad bit more bearable. With award season in full swing, we’ve been witness to some star-studded live stages over the past few weeks.
From the Video Music Awards and the BET Awards to the Billboard Music Awards and upcoming American Music Awards – we’ve been fed extremely well. And it looks like we’re soon going to be stuffed full because the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball awaits us on the horizon. Serving as one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year, 2020 could really use some of that festive cheer. Would you look at that, we’re already rhyming! A string of stars from the music world are all set to take the stage to dish out some iconic Christmas hits. Speaking of the event, Tom Poleman, chief programming officer for iHeartMedia shared, “Because of the pandemic, we’re moving from the stage to the artists home this holiday season for what will be an unforgettable show with amazing performances and moments that can only happen at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.” So, go ahead and take a peek at all the performers!

The 2020 Jingle Ball Promises Treat After Treat
1. Billie’s on the list and we’re just over the moon. Oh and something tells us she’s going to perform a stripped down cover of a Christmas classic alongside Finneas…
2. Dua Lipa’s going to pick a groovy festive hit to cover and with her husky vocals, we’re expecting a real auditory treat.
3. As much as we’d love to heard Shawn Mendes take the stage for ‘Wonder’ again, we can’t wait to see what Christmas gem he chooses to dish out.
4. Will Doja Cat treat fans to another Broadway flavoured stage during the Jingle Ball? Honestly, the gal’s unpredictable, so there’s no telling what she’ll fish out next!
5. Harry Styles and Christmas time go hand in hand. But the real question is: will we or will we not see him in a candy-cane striped suit?
6. Sam Smith has been absent from the stage for a while now, so to get a fresh dose of their soulful vocals will be a real Christmas blessing.
7. The young Lewis Capaldi will also be conquering the stage and something tells us he’s going to pick a gooey, sugary sweet festive love song.
The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball is still adding to their steadily growing list of performers, so stay tuned for more updates. And perhaps it might also be a good time to dust down that old Christmas tree.
