The two-day festival delivered an exciting array of live performances with one-of-a kind artist collaborations such as the rendition of “Sweet Emotion” by music legends Steven Tyler, Jeff Beck and Sting. The performance was the opening act of the second night of the festival.
The iHeartRadio Music Festival weekend was filled with exclusive performances from a star-infused lineup, with many special guest attendees and presenters including Emmy and Grammy Award winning superstar Justin Timberlake; Twilight’s Ashley Greene; Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D; American Idol judge Randy Jackson and others.
