Overview
- The sold-out benefit at NYU’s Skirball Center featured unannounced sets by Hayley Williams, Florence Welch and Trey Anastasio with Bleachers serving as the house band.
- A standout moment saw Welch, Williams, Anastasio and Bleachers unite for Judee Sill’s 1971 song “Lopin’ Along Through the Cosmos.”
- Williams performed tracks from her 2025 solo album with Bleachers and pledged one dollar from every ticket on her 2026 tour to the Ally Coalition.
- Appearing at the Talent Show for the first time, Welch performed “Free” and “Dog Days Are Over,” reflecting her creative ties to Antonoff, who co-produced Dance Fever.
- The Ally Coalition pairs the concert with initiatives such as a Day of Services and tour donation programs, and the organization is reported to have raised over $2 million.
