Love Rocks NYC has announced the initial artist lineup for its 10th annual benefit concert. The landmark gathering, which will take place on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at New York’s Beacon Theatre, has assembled a star-studded lineup of musical luminaries who will perform under one roof in support of charity. Paul Simon leads this year’s roster. 

The imminent Big Apple event features a rotating lineup of top-tier talent, including first-wave contributors Billy F. Gibbons, Elvis Costello, Goo Goo Dolls, Hozier, Jon Batiste, Linda Perry, Mary J. Blige, Warren Haynes, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Susanna Hoffs, and Trombone Shorty. The occasion will once again be guided by the Music Director and Band Leader Will Lee (The CBS Orchestra).

At this time, the complete lineup and tradition of special guest arrivals will be kept under wraps, providing a jolt of anticipation. Bloomberg Philanthropies presents the 10th annual Love Rocks gathering. Adding to the entertainment spectacle are appearances by stars and comics such as JB Smoove, Jeff Ross, Julianne Moore, Paul Shaffer, Whoopi Goldberg, and Zarna Garg.

Continuing the event’s charitable legacy, all proceeds from Love Rocks NYC will benefit God’s Love We Deliver, which is celebrating 40 years of serving the New York community by delivering free, medically appropriate meals to residents living with serious illness. 

According to the non-sectarian organization’s official website, “[It was] founded in 1985 at the height of the AIDS pandemic, God’s Love We Deliver improves the health and well-being of people affected by life-altering illnesses.” Learn more and donate here.
