Cage the Elephant, Glass Animals, the Offspring among acts announced for iHeartRadio’s ALTer EGO concert

The eighth annual iHeartRadio ALTer EGO lineup will feature acts such as Cage the Elephant, Fontaines D.C., Glass Animals and Incubus when it returns to the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Jan. 11, 2025, its organizers announced Tuesday.

Other bands on the bill include the Offspring, St. Vincent, the Head and the Heart, the Lumineers, and a special solo performance by Damiano David of Måneskin.

“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 Fife, host of ALT 98.7’s “The Woody Show” in a written statement. “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,” said Fife, who will host the concert, in the statement. “Here’s hoping January 11 arrives before iHeart realizes their mistake.”
