It's a traditional almost as old as Christmas itself, and on Saturday, KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas celebration was back, with the likes of Imagine Dragons and The Black Keys leading the show.

Also on hand for this year's festivities was the buzzworthy act Måneskin, performing at long-running Los Angeles alt-rock radio station's big holiday gathering, which returned to the Kia Forum after previously being held at the Honda Center (Almost Acoustic Christmas was scrapped in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic).

While Yeah Yeah Yeahs unfortunately canceled their KROQ performance (along with their Saturday Night Live performance next weekend) as guitarist Nick Zinner is still recovering from pneumonia, the Christmas festival still featured a slew of favorites, including rising newcomers Wet Leg, as well as Death Cab For Cutie, YUNGBLUD, Jimmy Eat World and more.
