Andrew Wertz
The Staples Center will host the 102.7 KIIS Jingle Ball, the third stop on iHeartRadio’s nationwide tour boasting performances by The Weeknd and Ellie Goulding as well as pop icons One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer and Selena Gomez. Joe Jonas’ newly formed band, DNCE, will also play the event giving fans what they’ve been missing since the Jonas Brothers’ split in 2013. Another highly anticipated singer is Australian superstar Conrad Sewell whose debut album, “All I Know,” will drop November 13. Sewell’s single, “Start Again,” topped the Australian charts earlier this year.
Charlie Puth, best known for his vocals on “See You Again” from the “Furious 7” soundtrack, will perform at the Christmas concert. It’s not just singers who’ll steal the limelight, movie star Hailee Steinfeld will also play at the Jingle Ball after launching her music career earlier in 2015 with her debut hit “Love Myself.” Vine sensation Shawn Mendes is also set to sing at the Jingle Ball, making the event a dream lineup for pop music lovers.
The world of techno-infused pop is well represented by Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd. Additionally, several European superstars will also be in attendance at the Downtown arena, like Tove Lo, known for her hit “Habits (Stay High),” and German DJ and producer Zedd, known for hits like “Clarity” and “Break Free.”
And rounding out the Jingle Ball lineup are many perennial chart-toppers, as well as some of the hottest artists of the past year. They’ll tour America throughout December and will make a 2-night stop in Europe. The performers will change throughout the tour as the concert cycles through an impressive list of talent.
The KIIS Jingle Ball will be at the Staples Center on December 4. Tickets are still available from AXS and StubHub.
