For over two decades, iHeartRadio has held Jingle Balls in various cities during December, celebrating the holiday season with music. This year, big names of music like Olivia Rodrigo, Niall Horan, SZA, and so many more, played throughout the 11 cities on the Jingle Ball tour.
Tuesday, December 12, at the Wells Fargo Center, the 2023 iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball took place. Fans packed into the stadium to see an amazing lineup of performers including Usher, OneRepublic, Jelly Roll, Big Time Rush, David Kushner, and (G)I-DLE. While Doechii was also supposed to perform that night, she ended up cancelling due to sickness. Alongside the Q102 radio hosts, Jared Leto made a special guest appearance to introduce some of the performers.
I was fortunate enough to attend this event and it was an absolute blast. With this year being my first year ever attending the Jingle Ball, I was very impressed with the setup of the event. The Wells Fargo Center did an amazing job decking the stadium with so many holiday decorations and creating an overall festive atmosphere. As well, I liked getting to see all these incredible artists perform throughout the duration of the night. Ultimately, I would have to say that my favorite performance was OneRepublic’s setlist. Overall, it was an amazing night, and I can’t wait to see the lineup for next year!
