Audacy has unveiled the lineup for its 11th annual We Can Survive event, supporting the mental health initiative, I’m Listening. The concert, set for September 28 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, will feature performances by Justin Timberlake, New Kids On The Block, Tate McRae, Benson Boone, Khalid, and Isabel LaRosa. Hosted by NEW 102.7 FM, this event underscores the power of music in fostering community connections and promoting mental health conversations.
Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Head of Music Initiatives at Audacy, emphasized the significance of the event: “Music is a driving force in so many of our lives. Having an event like We Can Survive that features artists our fans love while supporting mental health just shows how powerful songs and lyrics can be. We look forward to welcoming all of the extraordinary artists and can’t wait to see them light up the night.”
The concert will follow the I’m Listening broadcast on September 25, featuring engaging conversations on mental health across Audacy’s stations. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), supporting their education, loss support, advocacy, and community-based programs.
Bob Gebbia, CEO of AFSP, highlighted the impact of the partnership: “By bringing the biggest stars out for the We Can Survive concert, Audacy has raised over $2 million for suicide prevention since 2021. These funds support AFSP’s mission to save lives, bring hope to those affected by suicide, and make possible programs that educate the public about mental health and suicide prevention.”
Presale tickets will be available on August 1. Fans can get access to the presale code through the Audacy app and the NEW 102.7 newsletter. General ticket sales begin on August 2 via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can also win tickets through Fandiem, a digital fundraising platform supporting charitable causes.
