How to watch Cher, Peter Frampton, Dave Stewart perform at Love Rocks NYC concert
This year's Love Rocks NYC benefit concert will have a dual purpose.
The ninth annual installment of the event at the Beacon Theatre in New York will aid God's Love We Deliver as usual, but also throw support behind Project Angel Food in Los Angeles as a response to the devastating area wildfires.
The March 6 show boasts a lineup stuffed with marquee names including Cher, Alicia Keys, Mavis Staples, Peter Frampton, Trey Anastasio, Kate Hudson, Michael McDonald, Struts frontman Luke Spiller and Eurythmics star Dave Stewart among them. Celebrity appearances from Amy Schumer, Tracy Morgan, Susie Essman and Alex Edelman are also planned.

Since its launch in 2017, the Love Rocks NYC concerts have raised $50 million and funded 5 million meals for God's Love We Deliver, the nonprofit founded during the AIDS pandemic in 1985.
Project Angel Food, founded in 1989, also services its area – the majority of Los Angeles County – by providing free meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. In April 2023, the organization delivered its 16 millionth meal.
Stewart, who plans to perform two Eurthymics songs with vocalist Vanessa Amorosi, said he got involved after being asked by iconic fashion designer John Varvatos, one of the executive producers of Love Rocks NYC.
For the charitable-minded Stewart, who also works with José Andrés' World Central Kitchen, it was an immediate affirmative.
'There isn't one person on the lineup I don't like, so it was like, oh, great, Alicia, Beck, Cher. I love Mavis Staples, obviously, and I've been following Kingfish for a while and Grace Powers is such a great up-and-coming artist,' Stewart told USA TODAY.

Why Love Rocks NYC will be more 'impactful' this year
He's particularly anticipating convening with his old friend Beck, whom Stewart last saw around 2005 when they performed at the (now closed) Sit N Spin laundromat/music club.
'I just remember there was a hole in the wall where you could get a coffee and a little stage, so at 1 a.m., there we were!' Stewart said.
Surprise pairings among the musicians on the bill are expected. But while the buzzy lineup intrigues, the mission of Love Rocks NYC remains at the forefront for organizers.
'This year's concert will be even more important,' said executive producer Greg Williamson, noting that support is needed for both God's Love We Deliver and Project Angel Food, a peer organization in the Food is Medicine Coalition. When there is a crisis, God's Love We Deliver always steps up, so supporting this year's concert will be even more impactful."
