Though there were lots of fans sporting the signature beanies of Twenty One Pilots, it was pretty obvious that this crowd was there to see The Killers and Muse. Vocalist and guitarist Rivers Cuomo also prefaced the new song by announcing that the fest had saved “the best for the middle” in response to Twenty One Pilots claiming the best came first. The band, which has a new album, “The Black Album,” dropping on March 1, played its latest bouncy single, “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” alongside a slew of familiar hits including “Hash Pipe,” “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So” and “Pork and Beans.” Of course the group wasn’t going to leave out its inescapable cover of Toto’s “Africa,” which had everyone singing along. Southern California’s house band, Weezer, also helped keep the evening fun with its all-killer-no-filler set. She closed her turn with the boot-stompin’, “River,” which, of all of her songs, truly showcases her impressive range.

Maybe it’s still super early in the year and people are working off holiday hangovers and slowly easing back into their routines in 2019, but for a gig boasting a superstar line-up the crowd inside the venue seemed pretty subdued, especially for the first half of the evening. Though The Killers, fearlessly led by the charismatic Brandon Flowers, brought the mostly lethargic crowd to life via its much too short - but hit-filled - set, they don’t get all of the credit. Alt 98.7/FM’s 2nd Annual iHeartRadio ALTer Ego bash sold out at The Forum in Inglewood on Saturday night and it had quite an impressive line-up with show-topping performances courtesy of arguably two of the biggest modern day rock bands: Muse and The Killers.
