Audacy’s 11th annual We Can Survive concert took place this past Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The event, which supported the company’s mental health initiative, “I’m Listening,” featured performances by superstar Justin Timberlake, New Kids On The Block, Tate McRae, Benson Boone, Khalid, and emerging artist Isabel LaRosa.
The sold-out concert showcased the power of music to bring communities together and encouraged more open conversations about mental health.
A share of the event’s proceeds supports Audacy’s long-term partner, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The AFSP provides education, bereavement support, advocacy, and community-based programs. Their ongoing public service campaign, “Talk Away the Dark,” aims to raise awareness about identifying the warning signs of suicide and engaging in meaningful conversations to connect individuals with help.
Audacy’s We Can Survive event followed the annual “I’m Listening” broadcast,” which featured engaging conversations on mental health resources and the importance of open communication with celebrities and medical professionals.
Hosted by Carson Daly, radio personality and co-host of NBC’s “TODAY” and “The Voice,” alongside Audacy’s nationally syndicated Country host, Katie Neal, the special provided a safe space for those grappling with mental health challenges. The broadcast was aired across Audacy’s portfolio of stations, emphasizing the lifesaving benefits of open dialogue surrounding mental health.
