As the holiday season approaches, the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour is once again gearing up to dominate December with its signature blend of chart-topping talent, surprise collaborations, and festive spectacle. The 2025 edition of the annual tour promises to be one of its most ambitious yet, bringing together some of the year’s biggest hitmakers for a celebratory run through major markets across the country.

This year’s lineup reads like a Billboard Hot 100 takeover, with names including Alex Warren, BigXThaPlug, Jessie Murph, and global superstar, Ed Sheeran. While the exact city-by-city roster varies, the tour will feature a rotating cast of marquee names that ensures each stop feels like its own exclusive event.

The Jingle Ball has long been known for creating unforgettable moments, whether it’s an unannounced duet or an artist pulling out a holiday classic to ignite the crowd. With this year’s performers coming off massive tours, viral hits, and critically acclaimed albums, anticipation is already high for what surprises might unfold on stage.

Beyond the music, the tour has become a cultural staple, ushering in the holiday season with a production that blends spectacle and intimacy. Fans can expect immersive visuals  and a pace that keeps the energy up from the first set to the final bow. For many artists, Jingle Ball is a chance to reconnect with fans in a celebratory setting before closing the book on another year in music.

The tour will kick off in Dallas, Texas, on December 2 before making stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and more, delivering a condensed but high-impact festival experience to thousands across the U.S. Tickets for most dates are already moving fast, with VIP experiences and premium seating seeing robust demand.

Whether you’re a longtime Jingle Ball veteran or a first-time attendee, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be a highlight of the year-end concert calendar. With its eclectic roster and reputation for surprise-filled performances, the tour continues to prove why it remains one of the most anticipated holiday music events in the country.

Big Gigantic are bringing their Fluorescence Tour to Chicago’s Salt Shed on Saturday, November 15th, 2025. Their latest album, Fluorescence — released back in June — marks the duo’s eighth studio record and offers longtime fans a fresh sound while still keeping true to their signature electro-funk style.

Chicago fans can expect a classic Big Gigantic experience — Jeremy’s live drums shaking the venue while Dom’s saxophone echoes through the Salt Shed. The setlist will likely lean heavy on Fluorescence, but you can also count on hearing some crowd favorites from past albums like Brighter Future and The Night Is Young.

The Fluorescence Tour continues through the end of the month with stops at The Great Hall in Brooklyn on November 21st and Washington, D.C. on November 22nd.

Spiritbox continues their takeover of heavy music with the news that the band for the 3rd year in a row has been nominated for a Grammy. The band have been nominated for Best Metal Performance for their track “Soft Spine.” Previous nominations were for 2024’s “Jaded” and 2025’s “Cellar Door.”

Spiritbox will hit the road this fall for part two of their North American headline tour, produced by Live Nation, with support from Periphery and Honey Revenge. Tour kicks off November 12 in Ontario, Canada, tickets are available at spiritbox.com.
