Jack Antonoff’s The Ally Coalition (TAC) will bring back its annual Talent Show on Tuesday, December 15, at the Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in NYC.
Antonoff, who founded TAC and curates the lineup, has drawn an impressive roster of guests over the year, including Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, Hayley Williams, and Florence Welch. The shows have raised more than $2 million for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth.
The organization is marking its 13th anniversary with a $1 million pledge to partner groups nationwide, asking companies and individuals to match that commitment and push the total to $2 million by the end of the year.
“All proceeds go to The Ally Coalition and our work supporting the homeless LGBTQ+ community – means the world to me and everyone who works hard to make this night happen every year.”

The Talent Show weekend opens with the fifth annual Day of Services on Friday, December 11, at The LGBT Center. Working with local LGBTQ organizations, medical providers, and clothing brands, the event will offer hundreds of young people vital services.
Over 4 million young Americans experience homelessness, and roughly 40% of them identify at LGBTQ+. The Ally Coalition also notes that the ACLU has tracked more than 600 anti-LGBTQ bills in the past two years, emphasizing the importance of an event like this.
Last year’s performance, hosted by Jack and Rachel Antonoff, featured Florence Welch, Hayley Williams, Rachel Zegler, and Trey Anastasio, backed by Bleachers, along with stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia. This year, TAC joined tours with Bleachers, Ethel Cain, MUNA, and Lucy Dacus. The lineup for this years talent show has yet to be announced.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Thursday, November 12 at 10 am.
Those unable to attend can donate at theallycoalition.org.
