iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball Tour returned to the Allstate Arena after a two-year hiatus due to a pandemic. Having the right combination of musicians paid off for the organizers in 2021 with a sold-out show on December 7.
While New York had music acts like Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa and Jonas Brothers, Rosemont, Illinois brought in Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Black Eyed Peas. Referring to the other performers as “five others” on radio segments was an injustice to the talent involved. One of the best things that these group concerts accomplish is the introduction of upcoming artists and this was a chance to see many of them before they become the hitmakers of tomorrow.
