The viral app’s inaugural music festival will host major headliners whose music has dominated the platform, with additional performances from TikTok’s emerging artist program. The all-ages music event is set to take place December 10, 2023 in Arizona.
TikTok’s first-ever live global music event arrives this December, presenting Cardi B, Niall Horan, Anitta and Charlie Puth as event headliners. Tickets for the event go on sale to the general public on November 2, exclusively via the TikTok app.
Plus, rising talents Isabel LaRosa, Kaliii, LU KALA and Sam Barber will perform as part of TikTok’s emerging artist program, TikTok Elevate. TikTok in The Mix is set to take place Sunday, December 10 at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona.
A music festival by the app only makes sense, as TikTok has largely influenced the music industry; we’ve seen viral artists climb the charts, with the app now having its own Billboard Top 50 chart, established last month. Recently, Bytedance, TikTok’s parent company, officially launched TikTok Music in Australia, Mexico and Singapore.
Headliners for TikTok in the Mix were selected based on their popularity on the app, with the aim to bring TikTok’s ‘For You’ page to life for the festival. The music event will also be streamed globally via TikTok Live, for those unable to make it to Arizona.
The festival will feature more than just music, showcasing other For You-inspired activities for attendees to enjoy such as creator activations, local small-business pop-ups and more.

Paul Hourican, global head of music partnerships and programming at TikTok, added, “No other platform mixes music, culture and creativity like TikTok. Our vision is to bring the mix of the For You Page to life for fans at the venue and around the world.
