Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Elton John among stars at iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas
He already brought sexy back, so what’s Justin Timberlake to do for an encore?
Help usher the return of the star-laden iHeartRadio music festival to Vegas on Sept. 20 and 21 at the MGM Grand Garden arena.
In addition to Timberlake, the event will feature pop tart Katy Perry, iconic piano man Elton John, bombastic Brit rockers Muse, superstar DJ Tiesto, country favorite Keith Urban and polarizing R&B singer Chris Brown, along with Phoenix, fun., Maroon 5, 30 Seconds to Mars and Queen featuring Adam Lambert.
New to the iHeartRadio festivities this year is the outdoor Festival Village, which will be located in a parking lot near the arena and which will host performances by Awolnation, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavinge and Jason Derulo with tickets priced at $20.
Now in its third year, the nightly iHeartRadio shows feature upward of five hours of music spanning a multitude of genres, with such big names as Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Aerosmith and Alicia Keys having shared the same stage in the past.
There have also been a number of collaborations at the event, with Pink doing push-ups with No Doubt during “Just A Girl,” Usher performing with Swedish House Mafia and Sting duetting with Lady Gaga at previous concerts.
The event is a way for radio giant Clear Channel to promote its iHeartRadio digital music service, with the concerts broadcast throughout the country on various Clear Channel platforms.
Tickets to the iHeartRadio fest go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets.
