102.7 KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball will return to Intuit Dome on December 4th, and the lineup makes the drive to Inglewood feel worth it. Olivia Rodrigo, Hilary Duff, RAYE, OneRepublic, The Beaches, SIENNA SPIRO, Freya Skye, Bella Kay, and Stella Lefty are all on the bill.
Jingle Ball has been around longer than some of the acts in this year’s lineup. It was founded in 1995, and KIIS FM has been running the Los Angeles version since 2000, bouncing between the Shrine Auditorium, Staples Center, and the Honda Center before settling at Intuit Dome in 2024. Since 2011 it has been a national tour, and this year it hits nine cities; LA will be second on that list.
Is there anyone hotter than headliner Olivia Rodrigo right now? The 23-year-old has had an extremely productive year. In addition to releasing her third album,
“You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” she launched Daisy Chain Fields, her all-women festival, which drew 45,000 people to Great Park in Irvine and raised $20 million for organizations supporting women and girls.
She just kicked off her sold out Unraveled tour and fans are losing their minds over the staging and setlist.
In the three years since “Guts,” she has built a name for herself as a genuinely great live performer with her own creative and personal vision. I remember watching her on Disney channel and I am constantly in awe of all she has and will continue to accomplish.
Hilary Duff is a fellow Disney alum and she spent roughly 15 years away from music before returning to it. For anyone who grew up on “A Cinderella Story” and “Lizzie McGuire,” this performance is going to be somewhere between nostalgia and pure excitement.
RAYE might be the most interesting name on the list. The British singer spent years signed to a major label, went independent, made “My 21st Century Blues,” and then swept the BRIT Awards with a record haul.
“Escapism” was inescapable for a reason and “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND” has resonated with so many fans – old and new. She is a genuinely amazing vocalist in a lineup built for pop radio, and I suspect she will steal the night.
OneRepublic rounds out the heavy hitters. Ryan Tedder has written a frankly unreasonable portion of the last 20 years of pop music for other people and is once again going to take the spotlight.
The Canadian girl band, The Beaches, along with SIENNA SPIRO, Freya Skye, Bella Kay, and Stella Lefty fill out the rising artist slots, which is where Jingle Ball earns its reputation, showcasing the new faces of pop and radio hits.
One dollar from every ticket sold will go to Ryan Seacrest Foundation, which builds media studios centered around creative expression inside pediatric hospitals.
Jingle Ball is not a subtle event. It is loud and built for the roughly 18,000 people Intuit Dome can hold, and it’s completely aware of what it is: The unofficial start of the holidays in Los Angeles. A lineup like this one makes it worth braving what Southern California views as cold to kick off the holiday season right.
Presales are happening now for Capital One cardholders, but all other tickets go on sale tomorrow at 12 p.m. local time.
