New York – September 17, 2013 – Clear Channel’s 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival, where the music of the iHeartRadio app comes to life, will broadcast LIVE on Clear Channel radio stations across the country and will video stream LIVE via Yahoo Music and – new this year – the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) gaming console, for those fans who can't be in Vegas.  In addition, the Festival will be televised as a two-night primetime special on The CW Network to kick off their fall season on Monday, Sept. 30.
 
The iHeartRadio all-in-one-digital app brings fans their favorite music wherever they are — and not just on their smartphones, in their cars and on many other devices; it also brings it to them live at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the sold-out Festival, now in its third year, will kick off on Friday, Sept. 20 and conclude Saturday, Sept. 21 at MGM Grand.  This year's incredible lineup of music's top talent includes performances by artists including Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, Katy Perry, J. Cole, Elton John, Muse, Tiësto, Chris Brown, Keith Urban, fun., Miguel, Bruno Mars, Phoenix, Zedd, Maroon 5, Tim McGraw, Ke$ha, Drake, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Benny Benassi, Queen + Adam Lambert, a special guest appearance by Robin Thicke and this year's Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star winner, The Summer Set, plus other surprise collaborations.
 
In addition to the star-infused lineup, this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival will also welcome celebrity guest presenters Britney Spears, actress Kate Hudson, professional athlete Shaun White, reality stars Khloe Kardashian Odom and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, actress Ashley Greene, singer Kelly Rowland, comedian Kevin Hart, “Pretty Little Liars” stars Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell, “The Walking Dead” actor Norman Reedus, Ian Somerhalder of “The Vampire Diaries,” Stephen Amell of the CW series “Arrow,” Jessica and Jep Robertson from “Duck Dynasty,” and comedian and actress Rebel Wilson.

The iHeartRadio Music Festival is a true celebration of music, artists and fans and is unlike any other live music event in the country. The inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival, which introduced the New iHeartRadio platform, set out to deliver a groundbreaking, must-see live music event that would take listeners and the music industry by storm, and, like iHeartRadio itself, showcase top artists across all genres of music.  Each year the Festival delivers on that promise, far surpassing listeners’ expectations with unbelievable, never-seen-before collaborations and lineups. The iHeartRadio Music Festival has sold out each year in minutes -- and, throughout summer-long promotions, awards hundreds of radio listeners and music fans their dream trip to Las Vegas to experience in person this one-of-a-kind, two-day, historic sold-out event.
