The devastating wildfires raging through the Los Angeles area have forced iHeartRadio to cancel its ALTer EGO show. Incubus, The Lumineers, Cage The Elephant and Glass Animals were among the artists slated to perform at the event that was supposed to be held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Saturday, January 11.

“Due to the devastating wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area, iHeartRadio ALTer EGO has been canceled,” wrote iHeartRadio in a statement announcing the decision. “Our thoughts are with the Los Angeles community, our employees, partners and listeners who have been affected by this tragedy, and we also want to recognize and thank all the first responders. Our broadcast radio stations will continue providing critical news and updates, making sure residents and communities have the vital information they need.”
