As live music makes its return, music stars hit the stage for two whole days of amazing performances at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 17th and 18th at the at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas – among them, Billie Eilish, Cheap Trick, Coldplay, Darius Rucker, Dua Lipa, FINNEAS, J. Cole, Journey, Khalid, Lil Baby, Nelly, Sam Hunt, and Weezer and special guests Florida Georgia Line and Walker Hayes. Meanwhile, rocking the Daytime Stage in AREA15 were Olivia Rodrigo, The Kid LAROI, Saweetie, All Time Low, 24kGoldn, Russell Dickerson, Yungblud, Gabby Barrett, Tate McRae, Conan Gray and more.
Dua Lipa slayed the red carpet on Friday (September 17) in a lace LaQuan Smith catsuit before taking the stage in a glittery purple unitard and had the crowd “Levitating” with a powerhouse performance of her biggest hits – including “Physical,” “New Rules,” “Love Again,” “Hallucinate,” and “Levitating” before closing out her set with “Don’t Start Now.”
The Future Nostalgia artist had even more to celebrate than just returning to the stage in over a year and a half – Ryan Seacrest also awarded her iHeartRadio’s Titanium Award for “Levitating” hitting one billion audience spins across iHeartRadio stations.
Olivia Rodrigo just performed her first-ever live concert on the iHeartRadio Daytime Stage, hitting the stage in a black crop top and jeans as she sang tracks from her debut album Sour – “Brutal”; “Jealousy, Jealousy”; “Driver’s License”; “Traitor”; and “Good 4 U.”
“This is a really special day for me because this is sort of like my first show,” she told the crowd on Saturday (Sept. 18). “I’m just so grateful that you guys are here with me experiencing this. Thank you so much.”
Billie Eilish’s set marks her first arena show since her Where Do We Go World Tour was cut short last year amid the pandemic – and she couldn’t be more excited to connect with fans.
“It’s been a year and a half, what the f–k. Let’s do this s–t, let’s have fun. It’s going to be amazing. Forget everything that’s s–tty in your life and just have fun and dance and jump around, OK?” she said during the show, where she performed a mix of her old and new eras – “Happier Than Ever”; “Oxytocin”; “Everything I Wanted”; “Bad Guy”; and “Bury a Friend”.
But the star-studded event didn’t just have music stars onstage – other celebs also joined in the fun. Jana Kramer, Maddie & Mackenzie Ziegler, Olivia Jade, Tayshia Adams & Zac Clark Tanya Rad, D’Andra Simmons, Martin Garrix & Maejor, and more were also spotted at the event.
