ALTer Ego, the annual concert run by iHeartRadio, has been cancelled due to the ongoing fires in Los Angeles.
The event had been set to take place at the Kia Forum venue on January 11 with a lineup including The Offspring, Incubus and Måneskin‘s Damiano David. A series of wildfires, fuelled by strong winds, have caused devastation across the city and beyond, destroying homes and forcing mass evacuations of around 130,000 people.
In a statement posted to Instagram, radio station Alt 98.7 said “It is with heavy hearts that we report that we will be canceling our ALTer Ego show this Saturday at the KIA Forum. The devastation from the fires is beyond comprehension. Our thoughts are with the Los Angeles community and listeners who have been affected by this tragedy. We also want to recognize and thank all the first responders. We love our city and are putting health and safety first.”
Refunds will be available at the point of purchase from 10am on January 09.
