LA Counting Down To ALTer EGO ’26
• iHeartMedia announced the lineup for the annual iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One, as the biggest names in Alternative Rock convene at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026 — please welcome Green Day, Twenty One Pilots, Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Good Charlotte, Myles Smith, Gigi Perez, and Almost Monday!
The event will be hosted by Woody of KYSR (ALT 98.7)/LA‘s nationally syndicated The Woody Show and broadcast live on iHeart Alternative and Rock stations and on iHeartRadio.com. “If it were a lesser lineup, you’d need a stronger host, but look at this list of performers — it’s incredible,” said Woody. “I can’t wait to see all these bands and help guide a full house at the Forum through what’s going to be an insane experience!”
“This year’s iHeartRadio ALTer EGO brings together a powerhouse lineup that reflects the full diversity of Alternative and Rock, with absolute legends like Green Day and Twenty One Pilots mixed in with breakout artists like Myles Smith, Gigi Perez, and Almost Monday,” said Lisa Worden, PD of ALT 98.7 and iHeartMedia SVP of Rock & Alternative. “We are honored to have such a brilliant collection of artists on the show this year. Sublime has had the No. 1 song at Alternative radio for the past four weeks, eclipsing their previous No. 1 singles, Good Charlotte will play their first show in Los Angeles in over 10 years, and Cage the Elephant is fresh off a U.S. tour with Oasis. All of these artists are ready to bring it! We cannot wait.”
