Jack Antonoff’s annual benefit concert for the Ally Coalition, dedicated to supporting unhoused LGBTQ+ youths, recently took place at New York University's Skirball Center. This year's event featured a dazzling array of performers, including Hayley Williams and Florence Welch, alongside regular collaborators and friends of Antonoff.
The unannounced lineup ensures a consistent element of surprise, with artists performing two to three songs each and frequently joining others on stage. Comedians also provided interludes, adding to the eclectic mix of entertainment. The concert is a cornerstone of the Ally Coalition's ongoing efforts, which include service days and packing hygiene kits for vulnerable youth.
While the show maintains a loose, familial atmosphere, its impact is substantial, having raised over $2 million for the cause. This year's event concluded with a collective performance, reinforcing the community and charitable spirit at its core, despite some family members being absent due to illness.
