TXT & KATSEYE Make History With Their First-Ever Jingle Ball Tour Stops

The holiday concert season just got a major K-pop upgrade. TXT and KATSEYE have officially joined iHeartRadio’s iconic Jingle Ball Tour 2026 lineup, marking a milestone first-ever appearance for both acts on one of America’s biggest holiday concert stages.

A Landmark Moment for Both Acts

This marks TXT’s first-ever Jingle Ball appearance, and they’re not holding back — the group will hit three major cities, with member Yeonjun also taking the stage separately for a solo set. That dual appearance, as both a group and a soloist, signals just how much confidence iHeartRadio has in TXT’s crossover pull with American audiences.

KATSEYE, meanwhile, brings their own multicultural energy to the Dallas/Fort Worth stop, further cementing K-pop and K-pop-adjacent acts as fixtures in mainstream Western holiday programming — a shift that would have seemed unlikely just a few years ago.

Who Else Is Sharing the Stage?

The 2026 lineup reads like a genre-spanning holiday party: Olivia Rodrigo, Jonas Brothers, Charlie Puth, Hilary Duff, OneRepublic, Ludacris, Teddy Swims, Nickelback, RAYE, Alex Warren, and SOMBR all feature alongside TXT and KATSEYE. Sharing billing with this kind of pop, rock, and hip-hop royalty highlights just how mainstream K-pop’s presence in the US touring circuit has become.

Why Jingle Ball Matters?

For decades, iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball has been a launchpad and a reward — a chance for hot artists to perform in front of massive, tightly-packed arena crowds during peak holiday season. Landing a spot, let alone multiple city stops, is a strong signal of an act’s current commercial momentum in the US market.
