The story

The iHeartRadio Festival is an annual music festival held in Las Vegas, NV, taking place over two days in September. It features a diverse lineup of top artists and rising musicians, showcasing a variety of music genres prevalent on the radio today, including rap and pop. The festival is located on the Las Vegas Strip at the T-Mobile Arena.

iHeartRadio Festival is a 2-day pop, electronic festival at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, United States. The September 2026 edition runs 23–24 Sept 2026.

Announced so far: Benson Boone, BTS, Cardi B, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, Major Lazer and Muse and 3 more. Expect stages split between Pop and Electronic. The line-up is spread across the 2 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

iHeartRadio Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: September 2026 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Thursday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Las Vegas are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• T-Mobile Arena as the venue
• Held every September
• Features top artists and rising musicians
• 2-day festival

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at iHeartRadio Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Las Vegas, NV, check the transfer time to Las Vegas before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow iHeartRadio Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• Fly into Las Vegas, NV, the closest airport to the site.
• Rail arrivals come through not specified; shuttles usually run from there.
• The site itself is T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas.
• Book a bed in Las Vegas early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
