“The 2016 iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina is a one-of-a-kind celebration of
the wide variety of Latin music we play every day on our Spanish and
English radio stations throughout the U.S.,” said Tom Poleman, President
of the iHeartMedia National Programming Group. “In just three short
years, the festival has exceeded even our own expectations. We’re
thrilled to be returning to Miami for the 2016 iHeartRadio Fiesta
Latina. It promises to be a can’t-miss night.”
The iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina is part of iHeartMedia’s incredibly

history, which features more than 20 A-list artists across every music
genre on one stage; the iHeartRadio Summer Pool Party; the nationwide

iHeart80s Party; and the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which generated 115

incredible artists in Latin music today,” said John Sykes, President of
Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “We are excited that our
listeners and Telemundo viewers who can’t experience the event in person
