The iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrate the most popular artists across all platforms, and this year, there’s an extra layer of significance. The event will honour Los Angeles, acknowledging the city's recent wildfires, while also encouraging donations to FireAidLA.org, a charity supporting wildfire relief. The star-studded benefit concert for FireAid will feature performances from Billie Eilish, Stevie Wonder, Green Day, Joni Mitchell, and more, with proceeds allocated under the guidance of the Annenberg Foundation to support both immediate relief and long-term strategies to prevent future disasters.
John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises, and Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer, shared, “Our iHeartRadio Music Awards show is not a competition. It’s a night where we honour the incredible artists and songs that fans loved all year long. This year’s show will shine a light on the devastating tragedy that impacted Los Angeles and help us deliver on our commitment to the communities we serve.”
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards will also celebrate Lady Gaga with the Innovator Award for her significant impact on music and global culture, while Mariah Carey will be honoured with the Icon Award for her record-breaking career. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will receive the newly introduced “Tour of the Century” accolade.
