Ludacris to Host and Perform at This Year’s
Award Show Live from Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles
iHeartMedia and FOX Entertainment today announced that
Beyoncé will be honored with the iHeartRadio Innovator
Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Additionally,
Ludacris will host and perform during the event airing LIVE
from Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Monday,
April 1 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET live / PT tape-delayed) on FOX
and will also be heard on iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide and
on the iHeartRadio app. Ludacris joins the previously
announced performance lineup including Justin Timberlake, Green
Day, TLC, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Tate McRae and more, plus
a special musical tribute to the 2024 iHeartRadio Icon Award
Recipient Cher.
Few artists in the course of history have taken creative risks,
successfully transformed their music and influenced pop culture on
the level that Beyoncé has. Throughout the years, the global
cultural icon has created music that has topped the charts across
multiple formats, while also architecting groundbreaking tours,
including last year’s RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR - the highest-grossing
tour in history for both an R&B artist and a Black female
artist. Her recent release of “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” from her upcoming
COWBOY CARTER album on March 29, is officially the first song in
music history to simultaneously chart across US Pop, Hot AC, AC,
Country, Rhythmic, Hip Hop, R&B and Triple A radio formats. It
is the first song this year to reach No. 1 in the US and globally
on all major sales/streaming platforms, also making her the first
Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 with a Country
song. Beyond creating art that has inspired the world, over the
last decade Beyoncé’s passion for philanthropy and giving back with
her BeyGOOD Foundation has helped communities around the
world on a wide range of issues from disaster relief and water and
housing scarcity to supporting young entrepreneurs and career
development. Beyoncé is the true definition of the modern-day
artist innovator.
“I’m looking forward to hosting the 2024 iHeartRadio Music
Awards and sharing the stage with some of the best in music,” said
Ludacris. “It will be an amazing night celebrating fan-favorite
artists with special performances that fans won’t want to
miss.”
