New York, NY (Top40 Charts) iHeartMedia, the leading media company in
America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other radio or television outlet, announced today that it's taking the power of its hugely successful iHeartRadio
Music Festival to Latin music fans with its first-ever iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina. Latin music's biggest names will perform live at the Forum in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday, November 22.

Jesse & Joy with more to be announced soon. The star-studded event will be co-produced by iHeartMedia and Live Nation.
"Latin music has shown incredible growth on iHeartRadio -- so we decided to use the great format and cultural firepower of the iHeartRadio
Music Festival to create a festival that celebrates these great artists and their music," said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. "Bringing this caliber of Latin artists together for a night of incredible performances will be an experience you can't see anywhere else."
The iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina is the newest of iHeartMedia's incredibly successful major concert events, following in the footsteps of the iHeartRadio
Music Festival, the biggest live concert event in radio history which features more than 20 A-list artists across every music genre on one stage, the iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party, the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Concert Tour and the iHeartRadio Country Festival, which features today's hottest country acts.
"This is a historic lineup and a historic event for our company, with an iconic group of Latin artists appearing on the same stage in one night," said Tom Poleman, iHeartMedia's President of
National Programming Platforms. "iHeartMedia's Spanish and English radio stations reach 93 percent of the Hispanic population in the U.S. -- more than any other media company — and our listeners have been asking for a show like this for a while. We couldn't be more excited to deliver this incredible lineup — it's going to be a one-of-a-kind event that fans of Latin music can't experience anywhere else, in person, on-air or online."
