iHeartRadio ALTer EGO 2026 set for Jan. 17 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles

iHeartRadio ALTer EGO 2026 is set for Saturday, Jan. 17, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

The concert will feature performances by Green Day, Twenty One Pilots, Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Good Charlotte, Gigi Perez, Mt. Joy and Almost Monday.

The show will be hosted by Woody of iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s nationally syndicated “The Woody Show.”

The event will broadcast live on iHeartRadio Alternative and Rock stations across the United States, as well as 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 of iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s nationally syndicated The Woody Show. “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!”

iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One is part of iHeartMedia’s national lineup of live events, which also includes the iHeartRadio Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Awards, the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina, the iHeartPodcast Awards and the iHeartCountry Festival.

“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, program director for ALT 98.7 and senior vice president of Rock and Alternative for iHeartMedia.

“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.”

“We’re proud to once again present iHeartRadio ALTer EGO, which has become a must-attend event for Alternative Rock fans,” said Byron Daub, vice president of sponsorships and experiential marketing at Capital One. “At Capital One we’re committed to providing unique value, and the early ticket access and Capital One Access Pass experiences are our way of showing appreciation to our cardholders and connecting them to their passion for music.”
