final-4363The 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival hit Las Vegas once again, and it was incredible. The sold-out, two-night show made music history in the new T-Mobile Arena.

 Legends like Sting and and U2 headlined the nights and Britney Spears‘ scorching long set (with a suprise from G-Eazy-Britney’s back y’all!) and suprise Miley Cirus singing “Rebel Yell”with Billy Idol–  to the epic Florida Georgia Line and Backstreet Boys collaboration. The BSB “Backstreet’s back alright” was off the hook! They too are back with an upcoming residency in Las Vegas.
