WHAT:    
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment today announced 50 Cent and Weezer as two new additions to the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2014 line up.

Rap music phenomenon and multi-tiered business mogul, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, has been rewriting hip-hop history since 2003 when his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' sold more copies in its first week of sales than any other major label debut.  To date, 50 Cent has sold more than 22 million albums worldwide and has received numerous awards throughout his career.  50 Cent's fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, was released June 3 of this year and his highly anticipated sixth studio album, Street King Immortal is set to release this fall.

During their Festival performance, Weezer will give fans a sneak peak into their ninth studio album Everything Will Be Alright In The End set to be released September 30. The new album is anticipated to be one of the finest in Weezer's vast and varied catalogue, and reunites the band with the producer (Ric Ocasek) who helped them to create some of their most iconic albums – their 1994 "Blue Album" and 2001 "Green Album."
