This year's bill spans generations of alternative and rock. Evanescence, The Offspring and Death Cab for Cutie bring decades of hits, while Modest Mouse adds its singular indie edge. SoCal favorites Slightly Stoopid and Young the Giant play to a hometown crowd, and rising acts The Warning and Temper City round out the night.

"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."

Host Woody is ready too. "So here we are again. Music and 15,000 friends coming together for another ALTer EGO," he said. "Rest assured, despite the questionable hosting decision this is guaranteed to be a great night! Really, it's the only way to start 2027!"
