The star power at the upcoming Love Rocks NYC benefit concert is reaching new heights, with legendary artists Cher and Alicia Keys headlining the ninth annual event.

Set for March 6, the charitable extravaganza will showcase an impressive roster of performers including alternative rock icon Beck, Eurythmics veteran Dave Stewart, actress Kate Hudson, soul legend Mavis Staples, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, and guitar virtuoso Peter Frampton.

Adding to the evening’s entertainment, comedic talents Alex Edelman, Amy Schumer, Susie Essman, and Tracy Morgan will share hosting duties.

The concert supports God’s Love We Deliver, a New York-based organization that has been a lifeline for those in need since its establishment during the 1985 AIDS crisis. The organization’s mission has evolved to provide meals for individuals unable to prepare their own food due to illness, extending their services to family members and caregivers as well.

The impact of their work is evident in last year’s numbers, with the organization delivering over 4 million specially prepared meals to 17,000 New Yorkers facing health challenges.

This year’s event expands its charitable reach by including Project Angel Food in Los Angeles as a beneficiary, responding to the devastating impact of California’s wildfires.

Event co-producer Greg Williamson, who works alongside fashion designer John Varvatos and Nicole Rechter, expressed his enthusiasm about the lineup. “Each year we are so grateful to all of the amazing artists and presenters that lend their talent and time to this incredible charity and benefit concert,” he shares.

Those interested in attending can access pre-sale tickets through loverocksnyc.com starting Thursday at 10:00am ET, with general public sales beginning Friday at 10:00am ET on Ticketmaster.
