The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards are poised to become a spectacular celebration of the most celebrated artists and tracks from the previous year, as well as a showcase for upcoming hits in the music scene. Hosted by legendary hip-hop figure LL COOL J, this event will unfold at the iconic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on March 17th. Notable nominees include Kendrick Lamar, Morgan Wallen, Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift, with Swift’s tour earning a special mention as "Tour of the Century." The ceremony will also honor Lady Gaga with the Innovator Award and Mariah Carey with the Icon Award.

This grand evening is set to feature dynamic performances by an array of talented musicians such as Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney, Muni Long, and Nelly, among others. In addition to his performance, Nelly will receive the Landmark Award, which recognizes artists whose work has significantly influenced culture over several decades.

Beyond celebrating musical achievements, the awards will also highlight community resilience. Following the recent wildfires that affected Los Angeles, the event aims to drive donations through FireAidLA.org. These funds, managed under the guidance of the Annenberg Foundation, will support both immediate relief efforts and long-term strategies aimed at preventing future fire disasters.

Audiences can enjoy the show live on FOX from 8:00-10:00pm ET on March 17th or tune in via iHeartRadio stations and the app nationwide. This event not only celebrates the vibrant world of music but also underscores the importance of community solidarity and support in overcoming adversity.
