‘We Can Survive’ Changes Coasts In ’23
• Audacy announced that, after nine years at the legendary Hollywood Bowl, the company’s We Can Survive concert will move to the New York City area for the event’s 10th anniversary on Saturday, October 14 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
The event, hosted by WNEW (New 102.7)/New York will feature performances from Maroon 5, OneRepublic, Kelly Clarkson and more acts TBA. Part of Audacy’s ongoing “I’m Listening” mental health initiative, the show celebrates music’s power to unite people, strengthening mental health in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
“We Can Survive has captivated audiences over the past decade with its unforgettable performances, chart-topping artists and unwavering commitment to uniting listeners through the power of music,” said Michael Martin, Audacy’s SVP of Programming and Head of Music Initiatives. “The decision to move the concert from Los Angeles to the New York City area is a testament to the event’s growth and its goal of reaching a wider audience. We look forward to connecting with our fans on the East Coast in October.”
Robert Gebbia, Chief Executive Officer of AFSP, noted, “We have made tremendous progress as a society in our understanding and openness surrounding mental health. However, many of us are still unsure about what to do when someone we know is struggling. It’s time we take the next step to help those who are struggling get the help they need. AFSP’s new Talk Away the Dark campaign is a powerful reminder that learning the warning signs and having real conversations can make all the difference. We can all help. This is why we are excited to partner with Audacy this year to connect people through music and inspire open, honest, and direct conversations about suicide prevention.”
Listeners will also determine who will be the opening act at We Can Survive — the winner, who will be announced in September, will take home $10,000 and take the stage before some of the hottest acts in music. Voting is live at OpeningActRadio.com.
Tickets go on sale Friday, August 25, at 10am ET. For more information about the 10th annual We Can Survive, please visit WeCanSurvive.com.
