The holiday season in Boston always comes with a rush of concerts, festivals, and end-of-year tours, but few events hit the city quite like Jingle Ball. The annual iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One returns to TD Garden on Sunday, December 14 at 6 p.m., bringing a lineup that pulls from every corner of the global pop spectrum. Now in its thirtieth year, Jingle Ball has become one of the most recognizable live music traditions of the season. The 2025 edition looks like one of the strongest lineups the tour has brought to Boston in recent memory.

The Boston stop features a mix of chart-toppers, rising artists, and international names. Ed Sheeran leads the bill and remains one of the most reliable stadium artists of the last decade. Laufey arrives fresh off a massive year that included sold-out orchestral shows and a wave of Grammy attention. Myles Smith, Olivia Dean, Ravyn Lenae, MOLIY, Sean Paul, and Zara Larsson round out a lineup that crosses genres from jazz-pop to RNB to global dancehall. The night will also include a special sing-along moment connected to KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, a recurring feature across the national tour.

Jingle Ball is designed as a multi-artist sprint through the biggest songs of the year. Sets are short, transitions are fast, and the night functions almost like a highlight reel of 2025’s pop landscape. Part of the excitement comes from seeing wildly different artists on the same stage, and Boston’s lineup reflects exactly that. Laufey can follow a pop powerhouse like Zara Larsson. Sean Paul can lead directly into Myles Smith. Ravyn Lenae, one of the most interesting voices in RNB right now, can share the night with Ed Sheeran. It is a rare mix and one that only Jingle Ball seems able to pull off successfully.

Capital One cardholders receive first access to tickets, along with exclusive pre-show party options in select markets. All remaining tickets go on sale to the public on October 3. In addition to the tour itself, ABC will broadcast a national television special on December 17, which will also stream the next day on Hulu, giving the event a reach far beyond the arena.

Jingle Ball continues its long-running partnership with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, which brings entertainment and educational programming to pediatric hospitals through its Seacrest Studios initiative. A portion of ticket proceeds from the Boston stop will support the foundation’s work. iHeartMedia’s commitment to philanthropic work has become central to the tour’s mission, and it remains a key part of what the event represents.

Jingle Ball is known for surprise collaborations, unexpected setlist moments, and a crowd that ranges from teens seeing their first arena show to longtime fans eager to see a quick-fire showcase of the year’s biggest artists. With Ed Sheeran, Laufey, Olivia Dean, and Zara Larsson all sharing the stage, TD Garden is set for a night that captures the full season in a single show.

Boston always shows up for Jingle Ball. This year, the lineup makes it easy to understand why.
