KIIS-FM Jingle Ball


The KIIS-FM Jingle Ball is an annual concert produced by the Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM that takes place in early-to-mid December. Since 2000, the concert series has been staged at various venues around southern California, including the Shrine Auditorium and Staples Center in Los Angeles, and the Honda Center in Anaheim.
iHeartMedia sister stations in other cities, such as WHYI in Miami, WXKS in Boston, and WIOQ in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have also hosted Jingle Balls of their own since 2011 as part of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour series. From 2013 to 2022, the concert aired on The CW. From 2023 to the present day, the concert aired on ABC.

History

The ″Jingle Ball″ concept and branding evolved from Top 40 radio station WHTZ 's December 1994 ″Acoustic Christmas″ concert. The December concerts replaced WHTZ's annual ″birthday celebration″ summer concerts. The inaugural Z100 ″Jingle Ball″ concert was presented on December 15, 1995 at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford NJ.
