How to watch iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024: live stream performers Justin Timberlake, Green Day and TLC from anywhere
Taylor Swift leads the nominations with nine nods
There's something for everyone at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, with performances from de rigueur artists Tate McRae, Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll set to be cut with a heavy dose of nostalgia for 80s and 90s kids, as TLC, Green Day and Justin Timberlake are all set to take the stage at the 11th edition of the show.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards air on Fox on Monday, April 1. Americans abroad can watch iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024 from anywhere with a VPN.
Anchoring proceedings at LA's Dolby Theatre is Ludacris, who younger viewers might not realize used to be a rapper before committing full-time to the role of the "Fast & Furious" franchise's gun-toting, space-invading tech genius/car mechanic Tej Parker. Is there nothing he can't do?
Unlike most other awards shows, the iHeartRadio Music Awards also delves into music culture, with the customary song of the year and artist of the year categories supplemented with nods to lyrics and even tour photographers.
Those are two of nine fan-voted awards, the others being best music video, favorite on screen, best fan army, social star award, TikTok bop of the year, favorite tour style, and favorite debut album.
Here's what you need to know to watch the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024 from anywhere in the world. Plus, scroll down for a full list of performers and nominees.
