From Tim McGraw to Monsta X, here's everything you missed at iHeartFestival day 1
Tim McGraw performs onstage during the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 20, 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Plus: Lil Nas X surprises the crowd, Hootie & The Blowfish debut a brand-new song, Backstreet Boys join Steve Aoki & more. The iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup can always give listeners a bit of aural whiplash, bouncing around between hip-hop, country, classic rock, pop, EDM and everything in-between. But Friday's day 1 crew actually had quite a bit in common.
While Tim McGraw filled the day's country slot, there was also Hootie & The Blowfish, whose frontman, Darius Rucker, has made his living in Nashville over the past decade. And then there was a surprise appearance by Lil Nas X, whose breakthrough megahit "Old Town Road" obviously owes a lot to the twang of country.
So it makes sense to hear Backstreet Boys, Cage the Elephant and French Montana all in one five-hour stretch -- which is what went down Friday night at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena. Below, find our time-stamped run through the night.Christina Aguilera hits the stage to welcome "rock icons" Green Day back to the iHeartRadio Music Festival .

Connie Britton and I Are Both Against a Friday Night Lights RebootFriday Night Lights is, in my humble and television-addicted opinion, one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and Tami Taylor, played by the inimitable Connie Britton, is one of the greatest TV moms. I love to visit Dillon, Texas on Hulu—and yet, I do not want anyone to reboot or remake FNL as a TV show (there are rumors that a spinoff film is in the works, though there hasn’t been much news on that front since it was first announced last year).
