• Billie Eilish kicked off the 2020 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One with an epic 40-minute set. The teen icon, who rocked the stage in black sunglasses and a Lil B shirt for her performance, opened the show with “bad guy” and "My Strange Addiction" before encouraging the sold-out crowd to jump during her electric performance of "You Should See Me in a Crown."
• blink-182 brought nostalgia to iHeartRadio ALTer Ego. Travis Barker, Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus delivered an 11-track set featuring throwback hits including “All the Small Things,” as well as new songs off their ninth studio album, Nine. Following a performance of their throwback "What's My Age Again?,” Skiba said, "I like to think we are the first band to have a song on the radio that has the word 'sodomy' in it." They concluded their epic performance by sprinkling in some of TLC's "No Scrubs" with 1997's "Dammit."
• Coldplay returned to the stage amid the release of their eighth studio album, Everyday Life. The Grammy-winning band, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary, performed a perfectly curated mix of tracks during their 35-minute-long set, including new releases “Orphans” and “Cry Cry Cry” as well as fan favorites including “Fix You” and “Viva La Vida.” Before performing their new release "Daddy" with a gospel choir live for the first time, Chris Martin told the sold-out crowd, "This is the most people we're going to play for [to promote this album]."
• The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, performed a handful of tracks during their set, including "I Got Mine," "Gold On the Ceiling," "Fever" and "Howlin' For You."
