The holiday season just got a major pop upgrade for American radio audiences.
On September 25, 2026, iHeartMedia revealed the full lineup for the 2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One. KATSEYE lands a high-profile slot on the opening night in Dallas/Fort Worth, joining a stacked roster that also features Olivia Rodrigo, the Jonas Brothers, Charlie Puth, RAYE, Hilary Duff, TXT, and more across nine U.S. cities. For Eyekons looking ahead after the Wildworld Tour, this is the first confirmed post-tour holiday appearance on one of the most visible mainstream radio platforms in the United States.

KATSEYE's Jingle Ball Date and Dallas Lineup

KATSEYE will perform on Tuesday, December 1, at 7:30 p.m. CT at Dickies Arena in Dallas/Fort Worth. The show is billed as iHeartRadio 106.1 KISS FM's Jingle Ball 2026. The Dallas bill includes KATSEYE, RAYE, Ludacris, Myles Smith, Tove Lo, Kylie Cantrall, The Beaches, and JYT. Opening the entire tour calendar gives the group a strong launch into the holiday concert circuit right after the North American leg of their own Wildworld Tour wraps in late November in Mexico City. The short turnaround between a full arena run and a multi-artist holiday bill will test stamina, but it also keeps the group in front of a broad American audience through the end of the year.

Each city features its own unique mix of artists. Olivia Rodrigo headlines the Los Angeles stop at Intuit Dome on December 4. Other major names rotating through the dates include the Jonas Brothers, Charlie Puth, OneRepublic, SOMBR, Alex Warren, Teddy Swims, Hilary Duff, and Sienna Spiro.

Why This Booking Matters for KATSEYE
Jingle Ball remains one of the most visible holiday platforms in American pop radio and live entertainment. Landing the opening-night slot in a major market like Dallas signals continued mainstream radio and audience momentum for the group, even while operating with a four-member active lineup. The booking sits alongside the SNL debut, four MTV VMA nominations, and sustained brand partnerships as further evidence that the Wild era has crossed into the center of U.S. pop conversation rather than remaining a niche global-pop story. For radio programmers and casual listeners who may not follow every K-pop release cycle, Jingle Ball is often the first time they encounter an act in a live, multi-artist setting.
Tickets, Presale, and the ABC Television Special
Capital One cardholder presale begins September 29 at 10 a.m. local time. General public tickets go on sale Friday, October 2 at 12 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster. An ABC national "iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2026" holiday special will air in December, with next-day availability on Hulu, Disney+, and VOD. That television window extends the reach of the Dallas performance far beyond the arena itself and gives KATSEYE another American broadcast moment in the same season as the SNL premiere.
What Fans Can Expect From the Set
Jingle Ball shows are multi-artist bills, so sets are typically shorter and high-energy. Expect KATSEYE to lean on recent material from the Wild EP — tracks such as "Animal," "Hootie Frutti," and other current radio favorites — while delivering the sharp choreography that has defined their 2026 live run across Europe and will define the North American arenas. Whether Manon Bannerman or Sophia Laforteza will rejoin the stage by December remains unknown as of late September. As of now, the working assumption for both the Wildworld Tour and the Jingle Ball date remains the four active members.
