Set for the KIA Forum in Inglewood, CA, performers include Imagine Dragons, the Black Keys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Cab for Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, Yungblud, Måneskin, the Interrupters and Wet Leg. It also marks a lineup curated by Kevin Weatherly, who returned to the station in June as SVP of programming following two years at Spotify, where he held the position of head of North American programming.
