Stars who are also set to make appearances at the ceremony include Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Steven Tyler, Imagine Dragons, Chris Martin, Lorde, Demi Lovato and more -- so the night is sure to be unforgettable.

Founded in 2008, iHeartRadio is Clear Channel Broadcasting’s internet radio platform that offers up to 800 live radio stations available to stream online. With a worldwide reach of over 240 million people each month, it only made sense for them to hand out awards to artists whose music resonates with listeners the most -- that’s right, each category at the awards show are voted on by fans themselves.

After the initial round of voting (and over 13 million votes), in which listeners narrowed down each category to five finalists, the awards are sure to go to some very deserving artists. Fans are in control again during the last round: Vote here for your favorite finalist, now through April 25!
