The BTS iHeartRadio Festival 2026 line-up has been officially announced following the band’s performance at the end of Night 1 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 18. It was a tight four-song set featuring new songs and the ever-popular “MIC Drop” by RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. The event was broadcast on Disney+ and Hulu, and even on iHeartRadio’s radio network.
BTS iHeartRadio Festival 2026 Setlist: All Four Songs
BTS performed four songs during their headline-closing set:
- “SWIM” — opened the performance with an intro and rock-style arrangement.
- “2.0” — continued the set with another track from ARIRANG.
- “MIC Drop” — brought back one of BTS’ best-known older performance songs.
- “FYA” — delivered a high-energy finale featuring dramatic fire visuals and stage flames.
It’s obvious that the short set was made for a major multi-artist festival, and not for a full-length concert performance. Three of the four songs were from the band’s newest album and “MIC Drop” gave the big time warp.
Why “MIC Drop” Stood Out
The BTS iHeartRadio Festival 2026 lineup featured just a single song from the group’s past: “MIC Drop”. This 2017 song was a familiar BTS track for the Las Vegas crowd between newer BTS tracks.
That contrast also helped bridge the gap between the group’s present ARIRANG material and their music that made them a force of live-performing powerhouse on the global stage.
BTS iHeartRadio Festival 2026 Performance Breakdown
“SWIM” Starts the Show
The first single of the album is “SWIM”, which was released by BTS. iHeartRadio’s official recap says that the track started the group’s final Night 1 show and set the tone for the set’s theme for their new era.
“2.0” Keeps the ARIRANG Focus
The group then followed with another ARIRANG track “2.0”. The show was a perfect opportunity to present the new songs instead of a greatest hits tour, as BTS got to do so twice in a row.
“MIC Drop” Brings the Classic Moment
“MIC Drop” altered the ambiance and provided a familiar tune for the long-time ARMYs. The set was a highlight of their Las Vegas appearance, according to iHeartRadio.
“FYA” Ends With Fire
BTS ended with “FYA” where the fire pattern was displayed on the screens and fireworks were fired as part of the show. It added an impressive theatrical flourish to the short set, and offered one of the most scenic moments of the night.
How to Watch the BTS iHeartRadio Festival Replay
Disney+ and Hulu were the initial streaming platforms for the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 livestream service. As of April 22, Disney+’s official line-up includes “iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 Night 1 – Re-Air,” which offers an opportunity for fans to relive the first night’s performances.
This may vary from territory to territory, however. The official Disney+ help section also mentions that there may be region-specific variations with live festival content, and that the availability of replays varies by event and region.
The iHeartRadio Music Festival hub will also be the place to go for official festival highlights and performance coverage.
