Fall Out Boy to Replace Paramore at iHeartRadio’s ALTer EGO
Fall Out Boy will step in at the ALTer EGO show, set for Jan. 13.
Fall Out Boy has been added to the lineup for this year’s iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show, replacing Paramore, who announced via Instagram Stories on Thursday (Jan. 4) that they are dropping out of the show “due to unforeseen circumstances.”
“The band apologizes for any inconvenience,” the group continued in their statement, which you can read here.
“We are thrilled to join the 2024 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO lineup and celebrate our most recent album So Much (For) Stardust,” said Fall Out Boy in a press statement. “We are looking forward to closing out an incredible night of music in advance of our upcoming ‘So Much For (2our)Dust’ US concert run.”
FOB is joining previously announced performers The 1975, The Black Keys, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Bush, Sum 41, Yellowcard, lovelytheband and The Last Dinner Party. iHeartRadio ALTer EGO will be hosted by Woody of iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s nationally syndicated The Woody Show.
Paramore released their sixth studio album, This Is Why, in February of last year, scoring their highest-charting album in nearly a decade with a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200. The album was the band’s first since After Laughter was released in May 2017; it debuted and peaked at No. 6. The group’s last album to go higher was its self-titled 2013 release, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 27, 2013-dated list.
The iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show will take place on Saturday (Jan. 13) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
