WE CAN SURVIVE to Make New York Debut at UBS Arena

Audacy announced that Megan Moroney, Michelle Branch, Bebe Rexha and Ashe will headline its 13th annual We Can Survive concert on October 28. The night of music, presented by VEG, ER for Pets, is making its debut in New York at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY.

The annual celebration of music and mental health benefits the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and supports Audacy's 'I'm Listening' mental health initiative, which encourages open conversations about mental health and reminds people they are not alone.

We Can Survive is hosted by New York's Upbeat Variety Music station, NEW 102.7 FM (WNEW-FM), and will feature notable personalities including Karen Carson, Johnny Mingione, Anthony Malerba, Emily West, Mike Adam and Bru.

'I'm so excited to perform at We Can Survive and support Audacy's 'I'm Listening' initiative,' said Bebe Rexha. 'Music has always been about connection for me, and I love that this event brings people together while helping remind anyone who may be struggling that they're not alone.'

'Music has an incredible ability to bring people together, create connection and remind us that none of us are alone,' said Chad Fitzsimmons, Senior Vice President of Promotions and Experiences, Audacy. 'That's what makes We Can Survive so meaningful. For 13 years, this concert has brought fans together for an unforgettable night while highlighting the importance of talking openly about mental health. Bringing We Can Survive to UBS Arena for the first time is an exciting new chapter for this show, and we can't wait to welcome fans for an incredible night of music and an even more important cause.'

'Welcoming Audacy's We Can Survive to UBS Arena in October continues to highlight UBS Arena and the wider Belmont Park campus are a true destination for such premier, large-scale events,' said Mark Shulman, EVP of Programming and Content, Oak View Group. 'From our back-of-house amenities for the artists to the bespoke fan experiences on site, everyone is in store for a fantastic evening of music supporting such an important cause.'

For 13 years, We Can Survive has brought together some of music's biggest artists and their fans in support of mental health awareness, suicide prevention and other important causes. The event is an extension of Audacy's 'I'm Listening,' a year-round initiative dedicated to encouraging more conversations about mental health and connecting audiences with resources and organizations making a difference. Through its annual broadcast special, collaborations with national and local organizations, specialty radio programming, digital content and more, 'I'm Listening' continues Audacy's commitment to reminding people that talking about mental health can make a difference.

A portion of event proceeds will benefit Audacy's longstanding 'I'm Listening' partner, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), supporting its lifesaving work in education, loss support, advocacy and community-based programs. This includes its ongoing public service campaign, 'Talk Away the Dark,' which raises awareness of suicide warning signs and encourages conversations that connect people to help.
