2024 We Can Survive Concert Line-Up Revealed

Audacy announced the 2024 lineup for We Can Survive, the annual event supporting the Company’s mental health initiative, I’m Listening. Superstar Justin Timberlake will be joined by mega boy band New Kids On The Block, singer-songwriter Tate McRae, multi-instrumentalist Benson Boone, R&B crooner Khalid and emerging artist Isabel LaRosa at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on Saturday, September 28. Hosted by NEW 102.7 FM (WNEW-FM), the event exemplifies music’s power to connect communities and promotes having more mental health conversations.

“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,” said Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Head of Music Initiatives, Audacy. “We look forward to welcoming all of the extraordinary artists and can’t wait to see them light up the night.”

The show will follow the annual I’m Listening broadcast, which will air across Audacy’s portfolio of stations on Wednesday, September 25. I’m Listening delivers engaging conversations to listeners nationwide through the annual broadcast special, specialty radio programming, collaborations with national and local organizations and more. The campaign aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they are not alone.

A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit Audacy’s longstanding I’m Listening partner, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and their life-saving work of delivering education, loss support, advocacy efforts and community-based programs, including their ongoing public service campaign, “Talk Away the Dark,” which raises awareness of how to spot the warning signs for suicide and having real conversations that connect people to help.

“Partnering with Audacy to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention has been incredibly impactful and has helped us reach millions of their listeners with information on the importance of mental wellness,” said Bob Gebbia, Chief Executive Officer, AFSP. “Further, 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, as well as programs for survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide. We are very grateful for Audacy's commitment to our cause and those who will attend the concert to support our lifesaving work.”
