Usher, Bon Jovi Live Debut New Songs at 2020 iHeartRadio Festival

This year’s iHeartRadio Festival, which happened to be the 10 year anniversary, was a scaled-down, partially pre-recorded digital event. Regardless of limitations, it featured some powerhouse performances, live debuts and a few PSAs about the importance of voting in November. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the two-night event.

Country star Keith Urban performed five songs with a new track, “Superman” wedged mid-set. Urban had live debuted the single the night previous, during his The Speed of Now global livestream.  Urban closed his set with “Wasted Time,” a track he lived debuted at iHeartRadio Country Music festival in 2016

Hip hop trio Migos rolled out a full 18-song set, with a handful of covers and the live debut of “Birkin” off their forthcoming Culture 3 album. Their set closer was a tribute to rapper Pop Smoke, who passed away in February of this year.

Multi-hyphenate entertainer Usher gifted fans with the live debut of new song "Bad Habits." The Grammy winner recently announced his 2021 Las Vegas residency, kicking off July 16th. 

Bon Jovi opened his set with a “Do What You Can” duet with Jennifer Nettles before live debuting “Limitless” from his newest LP.

Ah but lest you forget what an incredible set of pipes pop star Miley Cyrus has on her… her closing performance at this year’s festival is a solid reminder. She kicked off her set with a powerful, Blondie-approved cover of “Heart of Glass.” Watch:
