"We can’t wait for this year’s Daytime Village at the iHeartRadio Music Festival! Some of our biggest on-air personalities will be inviting their fans to hang out with them on the Vegas Strip while they check out performances from both the hitmakers and the hottest emerging artists in the world," said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for iHeartMedia. "Fans will get a chance to party with their favorite DJs while taking in some incredible acts. It’s going to be an unforgettable day."
 
iHeartMedia and Macy's also announced today Christina Grimmie as the winner of the fourth annual Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star campaign. Christina Grimmie will now perform alongside music's biggest stars at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Festival, the iconic two-night mega-music event.
 
Christina Grimmie’s career is blowing-up at the moment, and it’s easy to see why. The 21-year-old New Jersey native recently returned from her first European headline tour and is currently preparing for a new music release (Fall 2015). She is a digital phenomenon who graduated from being a YouTube Cover Girl to independently releasing two albums, winning an American Music Award and achieved Top 3 position in Season 6 of NBC’s “The Voice.” Her fiercely loyal fans helped her beat out the other extremely talented artists to win Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star campaign.

"I am beside myself with this contest, the power of my Frands continues to amaze me. Team Grimmie has proven to be by my side time and time again, and I cannot thank them enough for how hard they went at voting," said Grimmie. "I will continue to make my fans proud, it's because of them I am the new Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star. Thank you to Macy’s and iHeartRadio for this amazing opportunity. I’m on cloud nine… Bring on the big stage!"
 
During the campaign, iHeartRadio listeners and fans as well as Macy's shoppers cast more than 10 million votes for their favorite up-and-coming artists, crowning Christina Grimmie as the 2015 Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star.  iHeartRadio fans and Macy’s shoppers also heard music from the top five Rising Star finalists on iHeartRadio via Macy’s exclusive mstyleradio, the retailer’s own radio station which also broadcasts live in-store at Macy’s mstylelab Junior’s and Young Men’s departments nationwide.
