About Jingle Ball Atlanta at State Farm Arena
The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour is the biggest holiday concert series on the planet -- a multi-city run that hits major markets across the United States every December, pulling together the top pop, hip-hop, and R and B acts of the year for one massive seasonal celebration. Atlanta has been a marquee stop on the tour for years, with the local Power 96.1 (recently rebranded as 96.1 The Beat) leading the charge and packing State Farm Arena with one of the loudest, most enthusiastic crowds on the entire run. It is the show every Atlanta music fan circles on the calendar.
Past Atlanta Jingle Ball nights have read like a snapshot of the years biggest hits. The 2025 edition featured Nelly, Kehlani, Mariah The Scientist, BigXthaPlug, BossMan Dlow, MOLIY, Jermaine Dupri and Friends, Lil Jon and Friends, and a special appearance from Belly Gang Kushington -- a true cross-section of the artists shaping modern hip-hop and R and B. Previous years have brought out names like Doja Cat, Latto, GloRilla, 21 Savage, and a long roster of A-list talent. Whatever 2026 brings, expect a lineup that mixes radio royalty with the hottest rising stars.
Why is Jingle Ball such a phenomenon? The format is fast, the surprises are everywhere, and the staging rivals any awards-show production. Set changes happen in minutes, the LED walls and pyro are stadium-grade, and the holiday theme is woven through every performance. Add in surprise guests, on-stage collaborations that have never happened before and may never happen again, and a crowd full of fans singing every word -- and you have one of the most electric concert experiences of the entire year. There is a reason this show has been a Power 96.1 tradition for over two decades.
State Farm Arena itself is one of the premier indoor venues in the country. Capacity for concerts runs around 16,000, and the layout puts every section close enough to the action that the energy feels personal. The arena underwent a major renovation a few years back that added wider concourses, upgraded concessions featuring local Atlanta favorites, and one of the best in-arena social spaces in the league. For Jingle Ball, the entire building gets dressed in holiday lights and decor -- it is part of the experience.
Getting to the show is easy. State Farm Arena sits at 1 State Farm Drive in downtown Atlanta, right next to Centennial Olympic Park and CNN Center. The arena is directly connected to the MARTA Five Points station via a short walk, and there are multiple parking decks nearby for fans driving in. If you are coming from outside the perimeter, plan for typical Atlanta holiday traffic and give yourself extra time -- the show is worth it.
