Jingle Ball 2026 tour lineup just dropped — Olivia Rodrigo, KATSEYE, Sombr, RAYE, Charlie Puth — worth going?
The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour lineup was announced today and it is trending everywhere. I usually skip big arena pop shows because the tickets feel wildly overpriced, but this lineup has me curious — Olivia Rodrigo headlining, plus KATSEYE, Sombr, RAYE, and Charlie Puth. For people who have been to Jingle Ball before: is it actually a fun night out, or is it mostly a radio-station branding exercise with short sets? Which stop should I aim for?

- Presale, not resale
The trick with Jingle Ball is WHEN you buy. In past years the arena stops sold out and resale listings were going for 2-3x face by December — I have watched the same seats on the resale sites and the markup is wild. Buy in the iHeart presale window and it is honestly a fun night; the radio-station-festival vibe is real (shorter sets, sponsor breaks) but Olivia doing a full headline set is the part that makes it worth face value this year.
