Charlie Puth Joins Olivia Rodrigo and Jonas Brothers on 2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour

A Star-Studded Holiday Tradition Returns

Charlie Puth is set to bring his signature blend of pop, R&B, and meticulously crafted production to the 2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter joins a lineup that reads like a who's who of contemporary pop, including Olivia Rodrigo, Raye, Katseye, Jonas Brothers, Alex Warren, Hilary Duff, Sombr, OneRepublic, Ludacris, Teddy Swims, and Sienna Spiro.

The nine-city trek, announced this week, will make stops in Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and — for the first time in the tour's history — Nashville, Tennessee. As has become tradition, the lineup will vary by city, meaning fans will need to check their local show for the exact roster of performers.

Kicking Off in Fort Worth

The tour launches on December 1 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, with a bill featuring Katseye, Raye, Ludacris, Myles Smith, Tove Lo, Kylie Cantrall, The Beaches, and JYT. Los Angeles follows on December 4, marking Olivia Rodrigo's only appearance on the tour.

For Charlie Puth, the Jingle Ball slot represents another high-profile platform in a career that has consistently balanced commercial success with behind-the-scenes craftsmanship. Since his breakthrough with the 2015 Wiz Khalifa collaboration "See You Again" — a global smash that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks and earned him Grammy nominations including Song of the Year — Puth has built a reputation as both a hitmaker and a studio perfectionist.

From YouTube Covers to Global Stages

Puth's path to arena stages began with viral YouTube covers, which led to a record deal with eleveneleven in 2011 and later a contract with Atlantic Records. His debut album, Nine Track Mind (2016), spawned the hit "We Don't Talk Anymore" with Selena Gomez, while his sophomore effort, Voicenotes (2018), earned a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical — a testament to his hands-on approach in the studio.

His third album, Charlie (2022), continued his chart streak with singles like "Light Switch" and "Left and Right" featuring Jungkook of BTS. And in March 2026, he released his fourth album, Whatever's Clever! — a title that suggests a looser, more spontaneous creative approach from an artist known for his meticulous attention to detail.

Beyond his own records, Puth has become one of pop's most in-demand collaborators. He co-wrote and produced Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi's 2021 smash "Stay," which became his first non-performing production to top the Billboard Hot 100 — a rare feat that underscores his dual identity as artist and architect.

The Jingle Ball Legacy

The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball is one of the longest-running holiday concert traditions in music. First introduced in 1996 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the event has grown from a single-night celebration into a multi-city tour that caps off the year for pop music fans across the country.

This year's edition arrives with considerable momentum, given the breadth of talent on the bill. Olivia Rodrigo remains one of the defining voices of her generation, while Raye has earned widespread acclaim for her genre-blurring songwriting. The Jonas Brothers bring a legacy act's polish, and newer names like Sombr, Alex Warren, and Sienna Spiro represent the next wave of pop talent.

For Puth, sharing a stage with such a diverse roster fits neatly into a career that has never been confined to a single lane. He has written for and produced with artists across pop, hip-hop, and R&B, and his own music has evolved from piano-driven ballads to synth-laced, rhythm-forward pop.

Ticket Information

Fans hoping to secure seats should mark their calendars. A presale for Capital One cardholders begins September 29, while tickets for the general public go on sale October 2. Given the star power involved — and the holiday timing — demand is expected to be high.

As the year winds down, the Jingle Ball will once again serve as a snapshot of where pop music stands. With Charlie Puth on the bill, it also serves as a reminder that some artists are equally comfortable headlining arenas and shaping the sound of the charts from behind the boards.
