The list of performers at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival that will be held in Las Vegas this coming September 19 and 20, has finally been unveiled.

News came after the festival's four-time host, Ryan Seacrest, was once again tapped to take charge of keeping audiences on their feet throughout the two-day music event.

Some of the performers confirmed for the show include Nicki Minaj, Bastille, Iggy Azalea, Usher, Coldplay, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Motley Crue, Zac Brown Band, One Direction, Paramore, Ed Sheeran, Train, Eric Church, Calvin Harris, Lorde and Steve Aoki, according to Billboard.

Tom Poleman, president of Clear Channel's national programming platforms told Billboard during an interview, "We want to continue to deliver the goods for artists and help their development, and to see more of great music to keep the radio industry healthy."

"It's great to have the diversity of genres this year, too. We have Motley Crue, which is obviously very different from Train, Eric Church or Ariana Grande, but that's what makes it so special. You'll often have people on the side of the stage watching other bands. It's not unthinkable to see someone like Coldplay watching Zac Brown or One Direction because they're already on-set and they never get to see them play themselves."

Meanwhile, the daytime iHeartRadio Music Festival Village will also return for a second year and performances will include those from Neon Trees, The Pretty Reckless, Miley Cyrus, Kacey Musgraves, Childish Gambino and more, Aceshowbiz reported

Seacrest, who will return as this year's host released a statement confirming his excitement and commitment to the event.

"Year after year the iHeartRadio Music Festival continues to deliver an unprecedented music experience for millions of fans nationwide. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of it. The adrenaline-pumping performances by pop stars and legendary artists alike, the never-before-seen collaborations, the energy of the fans and the artists, this is truly an event like no other," he said.
