Love Rocks NYC 2026: Paul Simon, Mary J. Blige Lead Benefit-Concert Lineup

Paul Simon and Mary J. Blige are set to rock the city that never sleeps at this year's Love Rocks NYC benefit concert, a 10-year-old event that continues to raise funds and awareness for those in need. The March 5 show at New York's iconic Beacon Theatre promises to be an unforgettable night of music, with a star-studded lineup that includes Elvis Costello, Hozier, and Whoopi Goldberg.

But Love Rocks NYC is more than just a concert - it's a mission. The event benefits God's Love We Deliver, a New York-based nonprofit that provides medically tailored meals to people affected by life-altering illness. Since the first concert in 2017, the organization has raised $65 million, funding over 6.5 million meals for those who need them most.

This year's lineup is packed with talent, including Billy F. Gibbons, Goo Goo Dolls, Jon Batiste, Linda Perry, Nile Rodgers and Chic, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Susanna Hoffs, Trombone Shorty, Warren Haynes, and special guest Will Lee, who will lead the band for the evening.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. ET on Friday via Ticketmaster and the Love Rocks NYC website, with presales starting earlier this week. The event promises surprise guests and an unforgettable night of music, all in support of a great cause. With its impressive track record and commitment to helping those in need, Love Rocks NYC is an event not to be missed.

In a statement, co-executive producer Greg Williamson praised the organization's work, saying "For the past 10 years, my co-executive producers Nicole Rechter, John Varvatos, and I have been on an incredible journey building and growing an unforgettable music experience... As a native New Yorker, it has been a privilege to create such a meaningful platform to raise both funds and awareness for an essential organization that supports our fellow New Yorkers."
 
🎸 Ah man, Love Rocks NYC is just getting better with time! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Paul Simon and Mary J. Blige rock out together? 🤩 The lineup this year is insane - I'm hyped for the jazz vibes from Preservation Hall Jazz Band 🎷 and the soulful sounds of Hozier 🎶. But what really gets me excited is that it's all going towards a great cause, supporting God's Love We Deliver 💕. That organization has been doing some amazing work for years now, providing meals to people in need... $65 million raised so far? That's just incredible 💸.

I'm also loving the nostalgic feel of this event - we're talking 2017 as its start date 📆. But at the same time, it's still bringing together some of the biggest names in music today 🌟. The energy is gonna be electric, and I'm not surprised that tickets are going to sell out fast 🔥. Will Lee leading the band for the evening? 🎤 Genius move! Can't wait to see what the night has in store...

I'm all about supporting organizations like God's Love We Deliver, they're doing real work on the ground. But have you seen the lineup for this year's Love Rocks NYC? It's stacked with talent, but let's be real, it's also a reflection of who's got deep pockets to donate. I mean, Billy F. Gibbons and Nile Rodgers are gonna bring in the big bucks, no doubt about it. Meanwhile, what about the working-class folks who need those medically tailored meals? Can't we have a more inclusive ticket pricing structure? I'd love to see some transparency on how that $65 million has been spent over the years too...
