TikTok is launching a new live global music event.
In The Mix is billed as a “first-of-its-kind live global music event, bringing to life the music, trends and experiences that our community enjoy and create every day”.
TikTok In The Mix will take place with a performance in the round at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona on December 10, 2023, and will be streamed globally via TikTok LIVE.
The headline acts for In The Mix are Cardi B, Niall Horan, Anitta and Charlie Puth.
In addition to the headline acts, TikTok In The Mix features live performances from new artists Isabel LaRosa, Kaliii, Lu Kala, and Sam Barber. All are part of TikTok's emerging artist programme, TikTok Elevate.
Alongside musical performances, In the Mix will bring to life TikTok's For You feed, with a range of activities inspired by the community's favourite trends.
The curated show will feature highlights from the past year that celebrate the cultural impact of the platform.
"No other platform mixes music, creativity and community like TikTok,” said Paul Hourican, TikTok's global head of music partnerships and programming. “With In The Mix, our goal is to bring the For You feed to life for fans at the venue and on TikTok. Our vision is to create a show that is reimagined for the TikTok era and our music-loving global community."
