Saturday (Sep. 22) marked day 2 of the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Performers from Lil Uzi, Justin Timberlake, Logic and more hit the stage in Vegas. If you missed it, here are some  highlights about how the last day of events went.

Lil Uzi Vert hit the iHeartRadio Daytime Stage, but halfway through the set the Money Longer artist had to stop his show due to a speaker malfunction. All throughout the audience the fans continuously shouted his name demanding the performance to continue. The crowd began to sing his songs while waiting for the show to start back up again.

Once the show was up and running again, Uzi showed off his dance moves to the constant stream of hits he’s made. Check it out below.

Later that night, Justin Timberlake had the crowd at its feet during iHeartRadio Music Festival with his epic opening set at the T-Mobile Arena. The singer welcomed Shawn Mendes to the stage to help him with “What Goes Around…Comes Around,” slowing down the song, giving it a dramatic, gospel-like take on the FutureSex/LoveSounds single.

The duo ended the song with a line from Timberlake’s Chris Stapleton collaboration “Say Something.”

By midnight, Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin that recently passed away from cancer. Clarkson performed her classic hit, “Respect.” However, this is not the first time that Clarkson has praised Aretha. Kelly has given tribute throughout the years, covering many of Franklins biggest hits like “Natural Woman” on American Idol and “I Never Loved a Man” at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 2013.

Other performers to hit the stage were Carey Underwood, Imagine Dragons, Luke Bryan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Shawn Mendes. As the festival concluded iHeart Radio urged fans to save the dates for the 2019 Festival, which will kickoff on the same days (Sep. 20 & 21).
