Some houses have a guest room. This one has a BTS pool you can dive into!

The iHeartRadio House of Music presented by Hyundai is returning to Las Vegas on September 18 and 19, 2026, and the best part hasn't changed: it's completely free and open to the public. Set up right outside T-Mobile Arena during the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One, the mixed-reality experience turns the festival's biggest names — BTS, Cardi B, Kenny Chesney and Zara Larsson — into rooms you can actually walk into.

Doors are open both nights from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. PT. No ticket. No wristband. Just show up.

What is the iHeartRadio House of Music?

Think of it as an artist's home you're invited to wander through. Each room is a mixed-reality build inspired by a specific artist on the festival's main stage — their music, their era, their obsessions — and every one of them is interactive. You're not looking at a display case. You're diving into a pool, mailing a postcard, filling up at a gas station.

"Our iHeartRadio House of Music offers a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that brings fans closer to their favorite artists performing at the festival," said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia, and John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. "Inspired by the artists themselves, these exclusive experiences create deeper connections between fans and the music they love."
