iHeartMedia has announced the lineup for the 2026 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One. The event will feature Green Day, Twenty One Pilots, Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Good Charlotte, Myles Smith, Gigi Perez, and Almost Monday. The concert is scheduled for January 17, 2026, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and will be hosted by Woody from iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s “The Woody Show.” The event will be broadcast live on iHeartRadio Alternative and Rock stations nationwide and streamed on iHeartRadio.com.
Woody, the host, commented, “If it were a lesser lineup you’d need a stronger host, but look at this list of performers- it’s incredible. 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!”
Leading up to the event, iHeartRadio is offering fans a chance to win trips to Los Angeles through a nationwide promotion across more than 80 of its stations. This promotion gives fans an opportunity to attend before tickets become available for purchase.
Lisa Worden, Program Director for ALT 98.7 and Senior Vice President of Rock and Alternative for iHeartMedia, said, “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. 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.”
