iHeartMedia Announces the Return of House of Music With LL COOL J, Mariah Carey & More.

iHeartMedia today announced the return of the House of Music presented by Hyundai, a dynamic fan experience inspired by the artists performing at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One including Ed Sheeran, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Tate McRae and more. Fans are invited to make themselves at home as they explore over 12 interactive rooms, immersing themselves in the lives, music and passions of their favorite artists and brands. The experience is free and open to the public on September 19 and 20 outside T-Mobile Arena from 4 p.m. – 1 a.m. PT. Additionally, before the festival main stage show begins on Saturday, September 20, the House of Music presented by Hyundai will feature a special performance by Julia Michaels that will include a live performance of her new single “No Heartbreaks Killed Me Yet,” set to be released on September 19.

This year at the House of Music presented by Hyundai, fans will be directed to scan a QR code to unlock their key to the House of Music presented by Hyundai, the House Pass. This simple, digital activation gives fans the chance to explore, play and win at the House of Music presented by Hyundai. Guests can explore rooms inspired by the artists and content they love including:

  • In Ed Sheeran’s room, fans can celebrate the world of “Play” with his immersive album activation. Fans will discover their creative spark through interactive experiences influenced by his new music. Featuring a vibrant art installation, including curated items that inspired that album (a giant marimba, video booth and tic tac toe), fans will be able to dive into the playful world of Ed’s new music.
  • LL COOL J and his legendary career come to life through a bold, immersive fan experience inspired by the artist’s iconic style that shaped Hip-Hop. Fans will have the chance to recreate the BAD album art, snap a photo on the “Boomin’ System” boombox and leave their personal artistic mark through an interactive graffiti wall. Fans will step into a celebration of the sound, story and creative force of LL COOL J.
  • Fans are invited to step into the Eras of Mi to celebrate Mariah Carey’s iconic career, with a focus on her latest releases “Sugar Sweet,” “Type Dangerous” and upcoming album Here For It All. As Mariah did earlier this year, fans will have the opportunity to accept their iHeartRadio Music Award, as well as participate in other fun social takeaways inspired by the new music.
  • Fans can take a journey through time as they are invited to turn back the clock and experience unforgettable moments that shaped Maroon 5’s career. Taking it back to the very beginning of their career, fans will experience a reimagined Songs About Jane artwork installation, step into iconic the “Payphone” and share their own Love Is Like message – celebrating the music, memories and evolution of Maroon 5.
  • Guests can transform into a superstar as they step into Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching” music video experience. Fans can walk the catwalk, just like Tate, and capture the moment with a personalized digital takeaway. It’s their chance to shine in the spotlight and become a part of the music.

Guests will get the chance to experience their favorite brands in new ways and walk away with prizes and limited-edition swag. Some of the brands in the installation include Presenting Partner Hyundai, Arm & Hammer Power Sheets, Audible, belVita, Capital One, Lenovo Legion, and more to be announced. The entire House is powered by a platform where fans earn digital points by visiting rooms. The more rooms they visit, the more opportunities they have to win prizes such as tickets to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, meet and greets with Julia Michaels, and more.

“The House of Music continues to evolve each year, and this year’s experience is our most immersive yet,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia and John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “It’s a celebration of artistry and connection—where fans can step into the creative worlds of their favorite performers and engage with music in a way that’s personal, playful, and unforgettable.”

This year, the epic two-day lineup for the iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, will feature performances by Bryan Adams, Diplo, Ed Sheeran, Feid, GloRilla, Jelly Roll, John Fogerty, Justice, Lil Wayne, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, Tate McRae, The Offspring and Tim McGraw.
