MONSTA X kicked off the 2025 iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One. The highly-anticipated holiday show returned to Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday night (December 12).

The “powerhouse” K-Pop group returned to the Z100 Jingle Ball for their fourth time, and they’re “back with a vengeance,” iHeartRadio’s Elvis Duran said when he introduced them to the crowd. MONSTA X emerged on the MSG stage with “N the Front,” the band’s single that released earlier this year as the title track for their mini album, THE X, marking their 10th anniversary. They moved on with their newest single, “Baby Blue” (the main track of MONSTA X’s upcoming English record), plus 2020’s “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT” and “SOMEONE’S SOMEONE,” and “Do What I Want,” which arrived earlier this year. MONSTA X spoke with iHeartRadio backstage in the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge, sharing how meaningful it is to reunite on stage after completing their military service. They also hinted at what’s next, including raising the bar with their choreography, a deeper emotional connection, their signature high-intensity energy and more.

Other artists who took the stage throughout the night include Alex Warren, BigXThaPlug, Conan Gray, Ed Sheeran, Jessie Murph, Laufey, Myles Smith, Nelly, Ravyn Lenae and Zara Larsson. This year’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour also included stops in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth and other major cities nationwide with star-studded lineups.

To relive the holiday magic, iHeartRadio is partnering with ABC to bring the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour to even more fans across the country, as an exclusive network special will be aired on December 17th and next day on Hulu.
