“So here we are again. Music and 15,000 friends coming together for another ALTer EGO,” said Woody of iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s nationally syndicated The Woody Show. “Don’t ask me how we keep coming up with these lineups year after year, because that’s above my pay grade.

All this week, iHeartRadio is giving Alternative Rock fans the opportunity to win trips to Los Angeles to attend the iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One before the tickets go on sale.
