“So here we are again.

“This year’s iHeartRadio ALTer EGO delivers a diverse lineup spanning all genres of Alternative and Rock music,” said Lisa Worden, Program Director for ALT 98.7 and Senior Vice President of Rock and Alternative for iHeartMedia. “Bridging the gap from trailblazers Evanescence, The Offspring, and Death Cab for Cutie to emerging artists The Warning and Temper City, mixed with SoCal faves Slightly Stoopid and Young the Giant, the incomparable Modest Mouse, plus a very special solo performance from the one and only Billy Corgan! It’s truly going to be a night for the books. We can’t wait for our listeners and fans to experience this!”
