Ally Coalition announces 2025 Talent Show in NYC

The Ally Coalition, Jack and Rachel Antonoff‘s LGBTQ equality nonprofit, has announced its 2025 Talent Show benefit. It’ll be the eleventh annual edition of the variety show, and it happens on Monday, December 15 at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in NYC. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 24 at 10 AM ET.

The Talent Show is always one of the highlights of the year with its surprise lineup full of special guests, and it’s all for a great cause. Previous years have included performances from Sabrina Carpenter, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Phish’s Trey Anastasio, and more (2024); St. Vincent, Jason Isbell, Clairo, Bartees Strange, and more (2023); Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, The 1975’s Matty Healy, Weyes Blood, and more (2022); Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, Dev Hynes, Carly Rae Jepsen, The Chicks, and more (2019); Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Mitski, Regina Spektor, Rostam, and more (December of 2018); and Lorde, The National, Spoon’s Britt Daniel and Alex Fischel, Shamir, Kacey Musgraves, and more (January of 2018).

“The Talent Show exists in its own special world that we have built over the last eleven years: bringing together my favorite artists to play a small room in New York for our people,” Jack Antonoff says. “All proceeds go to The Ally Coalition and their work supporting the homeless LGBTQ+ community – means the world to me and everyone who works hard to make this night happen every year.”

Ahead of this year’s Talent Show, The Ally Coalition will host their fourth annual Day of Services, which brings together local LGBTQ organizations, medical service organizations, and clothing brands to support homeless and at-risk youth, on Friday, December 12 at The LGBT Center (208 W. 13th Street, NYC 10011). “TAC’s Day Of Services has become one of our favorite parts of Talent Show weekend,” Jeb Gutelius, Executive Director of The Ally Coalition, says. “This year, we’re again partnering with The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center to host the event, where hundreds of LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness will be able to access medical services, meet with a case worker, get a warm meal and shop from a fully stocked clothing closet.”
