The biggest artists of the year take the stage at the Jingle Ball, running through their hits fast enough that you barely have time to catch your breath. Lights twinkle everywhere, screens flash with color, and people around you are singing along with the kind of enthusiasm that only a holiday concert can inspire. There will be moments that surprise you, moments that make you laugh, and moments that just make you take in how fun it all is. By the end of the night, your cheeks hurt from smiling, your voice hurts from singing, and you’ll wonder how you’ll top it next year.
Get Ready for the Jingle Ball 2025
What is the Jingle Ball?
Jingle Ball began as a holiday concert hosted by Z100 and has evolved into a nationwide tour produced by iHeartMedia. It’s become one of the go‑to holiday music events for fans of pop, hip‑hop, and whatever is charting now.
A Bit of History
The Jingle Ball concept originated in the mid-1990s with Z100’s inaugural December concert at the IZOD Center in New Jersey. Over time, it expanded into a full tour across the U.S., took on national sponsors like Capital One, and became a televised special. What began as a single holiday concert has evolved into a tradition for pop music fans and a prime way to ring in the season.
