The music heard on iHeartRadio’s Alternative and Rock stations shined on stage with an extraordinary lineup that included these special moments:

  • Fall Out Boy opened the 2023 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO performing their biggest hits. As the crowd shouted with anticipation the pop-punk icons launched the entire festival with “Sugar We’re Goin Down,” and treated the crowd to their career-spanning smash-hits including “Uma Thurman,” “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race,” a fiery rendition of “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up),” “Dance, Dance,” Thanks fr th Mmmrs” and more.
  • Armenian singer/songwriter Rosa Linn made a statement performing in a “Stop the Blockade” jacket. Her set included many of her own songs like "Choices," "WDIA (Would Do It Again)" and "Never Be Mine," and she also sang a beautiful rendition of The Police's hit "Every Breath You Take."
  • French Indie band Phoenix lit up the Kia Forum stage with selections from their discography of the last 23 years. They started off with a few songs from one of their biggest albums, 2009's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix including “Lisztomania” and “Lasso.” To wrap up their set, Phoenix burst into their infectious hit from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, "1901." Just when the audience thought the set was over, Mars jumped into the audience and brought his extra-long microphone cord down with him as he walked through the audience then scaling a wall to get to the fans on the second level of the Forum.
  • Sporting stylish suits, Beach Weather kicked off their set with, “Swoon,” then performed their new hit single “Trouble With This Bed,” and closed out with "Sex, Drugs, etc."
  • Muse delivered electrifying performances of their career-spanning hits. The trio kicked off their high-energy set with the title track of their latest album, a 10-track project titled Will Of The People. The ALTer EGO crowd got to hear live renditions of Muse’s most iconic songs they released through the decades, including “Madness,” “Uprising,” and “Supermassive Black Hole.”
  • CHVRCHES sparkled on stage during dance-inducing set and had the crowd on their feet and singing along while perfomring “He Said She Said,” “Forever,” “Miracle,” “Asking For a Friend,” “Mother” and “Clearest Blue.”
  • Jack White stunned the audience with his vocals and guitar skills delivering an electric performance of hits “Steady, as She Goes,” “Seven Nation Army,” “Icky Thump” and more.
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers closed out the 2023 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show with a powerful performance of their smash hits “Californication,” “Snow” “The Drummer” and more.
