It’s almost that time of the year again. Green and red are finding their way back on shelves, string lights in the attic are gathering their last bit of dust and Mariah Carey is starting to defrost.
Of course, it’s not even October yet. We’re nowhere close to Christmas, but that’s not how the world works. Today, we’re hit with the announcement of iHeartRadio’s annual Jingle Ball lineups. As per the press release, the official name is iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One.
The radio station’s festival takes place over multiple weeks in ten cities, bringing together a smorgasbord of contemporary pop stars from around the country.
Last December, the holiday magic came to North Texas, with artists like Shaboozey, Dasha, Saweetie and K-pop star Wonho taking over Dickies Arena in Fort Worth for the night. This year, iHeartRadio 106.1 KISS FM’s show will return to Dickies on Tuesday, Dec. 2, with a similarly hodgepodge lineup of internet favorites.
The Fort Worth lineup includes Alex Warren, the TikTok star who somehow released the statistically most popular song of the year with his single, “Ordinary.” He’ll be performing alongside Gen Z pop singers Jessie Murph and Renee Rapp, plus English songwriter Rachel Chinouriri and Swedish Got Talent star, Zara Larsson. Nelly and Shinedown also fill out the lineup, and would seem out of place anywhere other than the Jingle Ball, which seems to thrive on bizarre programming choices. Speaking of, mgk will take the stage in Fort Worth, as will a “special sing-along moment for Kpop Dream Hunters.”
BigXThaPlug will not be returning to Texas, stopping in Detroit (Dec. 9), New York City (Dec. 12), Philadelphia (Dec. 15), Atlanta (Dec. 18) and Miami (Dec. 20) instead.
