For those who couldn’t get enough of the When We Were Young lineup, their next fix, and excuse to wear all black converse, will be January 13 at iHeartRadio’s sold-out Alter Ego. The seventh year’s playbill includes artists like Paramore and The 1975. Past years have included Coldplay, Avril Lavinge, Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Perhaps not quite as fringy alternative as Warped Tour or Pitchfork, the lineup is based on artists played heavily on ALT 98.7 (KYSR), iHeartRadio’s Los Angeles alternative station. iHeart produces a bunch of these ensemble concerts, including the iHeartRadio Awards, the nationwide Jingle Ball series, the iHeartRadio Music Festival, the iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina and the iHeart Radio Wango Tango. Although the festival has previously been held in LA’s Kia Forum, for the first time, this year’s event will take place in neighboring Anaheim’s Honda Center.
For those who won’t make it out to SoCal for the show, the event, which is sponsored by Capital One, will be streamed live on the iHeart Radio app and broadcast on iHeartMedia alternative and rock stations across the country. iHeart is the largest podcast publisher according to Podtrac.
