iHeartRadio Music Festival 2025: Immersive House of Music Returns with Star-Studded Experiences
August 28, 2025
iHeartMedia is bringing back the House of Music at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival, set outside T-Mobile Arena on September 19 and 20, offering fans an immersive experience inspired by top artists like Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Tate McRae, LL COOL J, and Julia Michaels.
Fans can explore artist-inspired rooms, participate in interactive activities, and win prizes through a digital platform by visiting these immersive spaces.
Tickets for the festival are available at AXS.com, with prices ranging from $370 to over $1,000, often reserved for industry insiders, contributing to the event's inconsistent sell-out status.
Despite high ticket prices, the festival features a stellar on-site production with rotating stages, allowing fans to experience performances up close and enjoy behind-the-scenes views.
Since its debut in 2011, the festival has been held annually in September in Las Vegas, moving to T-Mobile Arena in 2016, but it has struggled to sell out consistently due to competition and ticket costs.
A highlight of the event was the reunion of the original four members of Boyz II Men at The Chelsea, with Michael McCary rejoining after over 20 years to perform 'I’ll Make Love to You,' thrilling the crowd.
The festival is supported by multiple partners, including Hyundai, Capital One, and M&M’s, with artist and event lineups subject to change, and offers opportunities for prizes like tickets and meet-and-greets.
Brand activations from Hyundai, Arm & Hammer, Audible, belVita, Capital One, and Lenovo Legion are part of the experience, with limited-edition swag and prizes for participants.
Maroon 5’s immersive room takes fans through their career milestones with reimagined artwork and interactive experiences inspired by hits like 'Payphone'.
Tate McRae’s room offers fans the chance to step into her 'Just Keep Watching' music video, walk the catwalk, and create digital souvenirs.
LL COOL J’s experience celebrates his hip-hop legacy with activities like recreating album art, snapping photos with a boombox, and graffiti wall art.
Julia Michaels will perform a special debut of her new single 'No Heartbreaks Killed Me Yet' on September 20, prior to her main stage performance, as part of the free, open-to-the-public experience.
According to iHeartMedia executives, this year's House of Music is the most immersive yet, continuing to evolve annually to deepen fan engagement and celebrate artistry.
