The 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour staged 11 concerts across the country between November 26 and December 16, hitting up the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York City along the way. The oscillating lineup was headlined by the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj, SZA, Jelly Roll, Usher, Niall Horan, Sabrina Carpenter, OneRepublic and more.

Pop Crave posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the show “opens with an Olivia Rodrigo performance” alongside a 26-second video snippet of Rodrigo backstage before “her first time performing at the Jingle Ball,” which would have been on December 1 in Los Angeles. Rodrigo also performed at the iHeartRadio Z100’s Jingle Ball 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 8 — one day before serving as the musical guest on SNL. (It’s unclear where the video originated from.)

After a successful run nationwide. HeartRadio Jingle Ball 2023 reaches an end on Saturday, December 16, in Miami, at the Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The artists slated to end off the festival are Nicki Minaj, Marshmello, AJR, Flo Rida, Ludacris, LANY, David Kushner, Paul Russell, and Uproxx cover star Kaliii. With so many acts playing on the bill, concertgoers are no doubt curious about the estimated run time of the show.

What Time Does iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Miami Start?

On iHeartRadio’s website, the company listed the official start time for Jingle Ball Miami at 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the landing page does not outline the set times for each performer. Nicki Minaj and Marshmello will respectfully serve as the event’s co-headliners. During Nicki’s Atlanta appearance, she closed the show out. This could also be the case for Miami.

On Amerant Bank Arena’s event page, the venue recommends that ticketholders arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the promoted start time to ensure they are seated in time for the first performer. In other words plan to show up between 6pm and 6:30.

Next week, ABC has plans to air an edited version of several 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball sets on Thursday, December 21, at 8 p.m. ET. Find more information here.

Due to professional obligations, Nicki Minaj had to bow out of her headlining appearance at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Chicago. However, she replaced her set with her longtime friend and collaborator, Lil Wayne. She then made up for her absence at Jingle Ball Atlanta. But she’s not finished with Jingle Ball just yet.

When Nicki revealed she was pulling out of Jingle Ball Chicago, she let fans know she would double back with more than one set. “I am still performing at the Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th,” she wrote. “And now I’ll also be performing at the Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th.”

Come hell or high water, Nicki Minaj will ensure her long-awaited studio album, Pink Friday 2, is on schedule. Nicki was forced to drop out of an upcoming show to ensure that the project hits streaming platforms this Friday, December 8. Tomorrow (December 4), the “Bahm Bahm” rapper was supposed to perform in Chicago, Illinois, as part of the 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert series.

Unfortunately, the Chicago Barbz won’t see Nicki until the Pink Friday World Tour twirls through the Windy City. Today (December 3), Nicki broke the news that she can’t make the gig in a post on her official X (formerly Twitter) page. However, instead of leaving fans high and dry, she was able to tap Lil Wayne to fill in for her headlining slot.

“I have to tell you something. One last thing. I hope it doesn’t make you sad. I won’t be able to perform tomorrow in Chicago for Jingle Ball. I was so excited to see you guys. Please accept my sincerest apologies. I’ll make it up to you on the Chicago stops of my tour early next year,” wrote Nicki.

She added, “However, my beloved brother/boss stepped up for me so that I wouldn’t have to push my album back. His name is Lil Wayne, a.k.a. the GOAT. He will perform tomorrow at the Chicago show.”

She continued, “I am still performing at the Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th. And now I’ll also be performing at the Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th.”
