Last night, 106.1 KISS FM kicked off the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour 2025 presented by Capital One — and Fort Worth did not come to play. Dickies Arena was packed, the energy was chaotic in the best way, and the lineup delivered from start to finish.

The night opened with JO1 setting the tone in full winter-core outfits, dancing through “Happy Unbirthday,” “RUSH,” “BE CLASSIC,” and “Handz In My Pocket.” From there, Rachel Chinouriri kept the momentum going, shimmering under the lights in a silver fit while singing “Can We Talk About Isaac?,” “All I Ever Asked,” and “Never Need Me.”

Shinedown had the entire arena of all-ages fans screaming every lyric to “Sound of Madness,” “A Symptom of Being Human,” “Second Chance,” and “Three Six Five.” 

Jessie Murph floated onto the stage in a sparkly red dress, red candy cane in hand, and absolutely owned “Touch Me Like a Gangster,” “I Like How I Look,” “Heroin into Hallelujah,” and “Blue Strips.” Zara Larsson showed up in a pink Santa hat and gave us “Midnight Sun,” “Symphony,” and “Crush,” then pulled a fan onstage to do the viral “Lush Life” TikTok dance — easily one of the standout moments of the night.

Alex Warren slowed things down with “Bloodline,” “Before You Leave Me,” “Carry You Home,” and his smash hit “Ordinary,” while mgk brought the chaos right back, jumping into the crowd mid-set during “Forget Me Too,” “Bloody Valentine,” and “Exes.”

Reneé Rapp had the arena on their feet with a powerhouse run of “Leave Me Alone,” “Kiss It Kiss It,” “Shy,” “Mad,” “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone,” “In The Kitchen,” “Snow Angel,” and “At Least I’m Hot.” And of course, Nelly closed the show the only way Nelly can — with a run of classics like “Hot in Herre,” “Dilemma,” and “Ride Wit Me.”

106.1 KISS FM’s Jingle Ball 2025 is just the first stop of the national iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One — hitting Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., Atlanta, and Miami. The holiday season has officially begun.
