Taylor Swift, Aerosmith, Rihanna, Usher, Bon Jovi, Lil Wayne, Green Day, Miranda Lambert, Mary J. Blige, Shakira and others are set to take the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2012 in Las Vegas.
The 2-day festival, slated for Sept.21-22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and billed as “the Biggest Live Music Event in Radio History,” will be streamed live by Yahoo!, Clear Channel’s web and mobile webcast partner for the event.
Clear Channel, which also owns 850 terrestrial radio stations in the U.S. The stellar lineup suggests the two-day marketing blitz to promote Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio digital music service is on its way to repeating the success of last year’s debut concert.The lineup of performers reflects the diversity of artists on the digital music service, said the event’s executive producer Tom Poleman.
iHeartRadio is multiple genres of radio stations on one platform,” he said. “It’s cool when you can then translate that to a live event like the iHeartRadio Music Festival; It’s fun to look around the audience and see, people that may not have been into Brad Paisley when they got here, but suddenly the Rihanna fan becomes a country fan.” “Last year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival had so many acts from so many different genres on one stage, a true rarity for a concert,Last year’s inaugural iHeartRadio concert featured Jay-Z, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Steven Tyler, Rascal Flatts, Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga, among others.
The concert will play live on iHeartRadio.com and Clear Channel stations nationwide, Poleman said. Video of some performances will also be available through a partnership with Yahoo, he said, adding that Clear Channel plans to make the two-day, all-star show an annual event.
