Cage The Elephant, The Offspring, and More to Rock 2025 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO

iHeartMedia has announced the lineup for the 2025 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One, set for Jan. 11 at the Kia Forum in L.A, and will feature performances from some of the biggest names in alternative rock.

Among the star-studded bill includes Cage The Elephant, Fontaines D.C., Glass Animals, Incubus, St. Vincent, The Lumineers, The Head And The Heart and The Offspring, with a special solo performance from Damiano David of Måneskin.

Hosted by Woody from The Woody Show, the concert is set to be one of the most anticipated alternative rock events of the year.

“For the 8th year in a row, every other option was exhausted, and with the announcement looming, a decision had to be made,” said Woody. “That’s when we were handed the keys and warned that we had better not screw this up. It’s an honor — one we fully intend to live up to. Here’s hoping Jan. 11 arrives before iHeart realizes their mistake!”

The event will broadcast live for fans on iHeartRadio Alternative and Rock stations across the country and on iHeartRadio.com.

Now in its eighth year, the iHeartRadio ALTer EGO event continues to grow, attracting top-tier alternative acts. The festival is part of iHeartMedia’s lineup of nationally recognized concert events, including the iHeartRadio Music Festival and Jingle Ball, with Capital One as a returning presenting partner.

“We are thrilled to present this incredible lineup of artists representing all genres of Alternative and Rock returning to one of the most iconic Rock venues Los Angeles has to offer, the Kia Forum,” said Lisa Worden, Program Director for ALT 98.7 and Senior Vice President of Rock and Alternative for iHeartMedia.

“It’s our 8th year doing this and each year it keeps getting better.”
