Lola Young Joins Audacy's We Can Survive Lineup Starring Ed Sheeran, Goo Goo Dolls, Alex Warren and Shaboozey

Additional Tickets Unlocked for Annual Night of Music Supporting Audacy’s I’m Listening Mental Health Initiative Benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

PHILADELPHIA, PA – September 17, 2025 – Audacy’s sold-out 12th annual We Can Survive concert, presented by VEG, announces singer Lola Young will join Ed Sheeran, Goo Goo Dolls, Audacy LAUNCH artist Alex Warren and Shaboozey for its annual night of music supporting the company’s I'm Listening mental health initiative. The show, hosted by New York’s Upbeat Variety Music station, NEW 102.7 FM, returns to Newark, NJ on Friday, September 26.

A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and their life-saving work of delivering education, loss support, advocacy efforts and community-based programs and events in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. This includes their flagship program Talk Saves Lives, which helps people learn more about suicide prevention, including protective factors and how to have real conversations that connect people to help. AFSP fosters a caring community of people who walk together, learn together, understand and encourage each other, and cheer each other on through hope and healing.

“It’s incredible to see the power music has to connect us – truly bringing people together through voices they trust and content they love,” said Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Head of Music Initiatives, Audacy. “We believe in creating opportunities for our audiences to come together with the stars they know and love, and we’re fired up to enjoy another powerful We Can Survive with them alongside this stacked lineup.”

“We are deeply honored to partner once again with Audacy for the We Can Survive concert,” said Bob Gebbia, Chief Executive Officer, AFSP. “Each year, this powerful event brings together music, community, and bold conversations to shine a light on mental health. Thanks to the generosity of artists and fans alike, we’ve been able to expand our suicide prevention work – investing in public education, advocacy and support for those affected by suicide. We’re profoundly grateful for Audacy’s continued commitment, and we know this year’s lineup will not only inspire and entertain, but save lives.”

Audacy’s We Can Survive is supported by valued partners Key Food, Terra Origin, Slomin's, RWJ Barnabas, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Perfectly Snug, LifeVac & Blue Apron in addition to those previously announced. Key Food and their family of supermarkets have unlocked a secret stash of tickets straight from the artists' circle—giving more fans the chance to experience this sold-out event.

Hard Rock International is also a proud partner of We Can Survive. As part of the event, Hard Rock will donate $25,000 to Audacy’s continued commitment to mental health. Audacy and Hard Rock will extend their New York partnership to We Can Survive by taking their Audacy Sound Space, typically located within the Hard Rock Hotel New York in Times Square, on the road to the Prudential Center, where it will be the title sponsor of the Hard Rock Artist Lounge, home to backstage artist interviews and content activations. 

“Hard Rock is proud to partner with Audacy to create one-of-a-kind experiences that celebrate the power of music to uplift, connect, and inspire,” said Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment and Brand, Hard Rock International. “Our multi-dimensional partnership with Audacy and sponsorship of their ‘We Can Survive’ concert in Newark is a meaningful extension of that mission—uniting fans, artists, and communities around music with a purpose.”
