KIIS-FM Jingle Ball

iHeartMedia sister stations in other cities, such as WHYI in Miami, WXKS in Boston, and WIOQ in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have also hosted Jingle Balls of their own since 2011 as part of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour series.

The ″Jingle Ball″ concept and branding evolved from Top 40 radio station WHTZ (Z100)'s December 1994 ″Acoustic Christmas″ concert.

[citation needed] The inaugural Z100 ″Jingle Ball″ concert was presented on December 5, 1996 at Madison Square Garden in New York City—it continues to be held at the venue since then.

It was known as KIIS FM'S Homecoming instead of Jingle Ball because of Gwen Stefani coming back to her hometown.

Rapper French Montana was part of the event's original lineup, but was eventually unable to attend after being hospitalized in November.

Dua Lipa, who was originally announced as part of the event's lineup, eventually withdrew due to laryngitis.

Pre-show performers for the outdoor Village stage were Armani White, Lil Huddy, Jax, and Jvke.

Ryan Seacrest, JoJo Wright, EJ from 102.7, and Elvis Duran will be back to host.
