The annual benefit concert will be at the Beacon Theater in March
The ninth annual Love Rocks NYC benefit concert for God’s Love We Deliver will be live from the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City on Thursday, March 6th. Executive produced by iconic international fashion designer John Varvatos, NYC Douglas Elliman real estate broker, investor and prominent concert producer Greg Williamson and esteemed concert/events producer Nicole Rechter, produced by DPS, and with appearances by Alex Edelman, Amy Schumer, Susie Essman and Tracy Morgan, the concert will support and honor the work of the cherished New York-based not-for-profit. The organization, which has served more than 40 million meals since it was founded during the AIDS pandemic in 1985, now addresses 200+ diagnoses with its medically tailored meals and nutrition services, and this year will mark their milestone 40th anniversary. Last year, the staff and volunteers cooked, packaged, and home-delivered more than four million medically tailored meals to 17,000 New Yorkers living with and affected by severe illness.
God’s Love We Deliver pre-sale tickets go live on Thursday, February 13th at 10 am ET with public tickets on Friday, February 14th at 10 am ET.
