"Coldplay will headline a iHeartRadio/Clearchannel music event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on 23-24th September, if reports today are to be believed. If true, an announcement is expected very soon - tickets go on sale next Saturday! Coldplay are already playing the Music Midwest festival in Atlanta on 24th September so it would effectively mean a trip across the US in a day if Coldplay were playing at MGM on 23rd. You can catch up with all the latest on this breaking story at the Coldplay Live forum now. Read on for the report. [thanks Baw8cc]

As lady luck would have it we’ve been scouring the internet, our ninjas and sources to get the good word on what is happening with iHeartRadio, Clearchannel and this big announcement on Monday morning at 8:15am by none other than Ryan Seacrest. Well here it is folks, as promised IHeartradio and ClearChannel are throwing the biggest concert of our current lifetime. It’s the Iheartradio Music Festival and it’s happening September 23-24th in Las Vegas, NV at the MGM Grand. Here are the artists already playing...

Kenny Chesney, Rascall Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Lady GaGa, Coldplay, John Mayer, Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Niki Minaj, David Guetta, Bruno Mars, Usher.

iHeartRadio is also going to announce some major changes. You’ll still be able to listen to your favorite Clear Channel Radio Stations but you’ll also have a more Pandora like radio interface. So now thanks to thedroidguy, you don’t have to twist and turn all weekend wondering what iHeartRadio is doing. Oh and tickets go on sale next Saturday at 10:00am.
