- Chappell Roan and her nonprofit The Midwest Princess Project announced "The Super Graphic Spectacular," a two-day fundraiser at Los Angeles' The Shrine on October 21-22, set to "unite artists, fans, drag performers, comedians and advocates."
- Each night will feature Roan's headlining performances alongside collaborators, plus guest appearances, drag artistry, and comedy, with volunteer opportunities tied to the event's trans youth and LGBTQ+ benefit mission.
- The Midwest Princess Project, celebrating its first full year of impact, will direct 100% of funds raised from the LA events toward ongoing initiatives focused on "care, connection and access to resources."
- The organization has already raised $800,000 through donations and proceeds from Roan's "Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things" pop-up shows, per the release.
- Tickets will be sold via Fair AXS in a fan-first model, with pre-registration running August 7 (10 a.m. PT) through August 11 (8:59 p.m. PT), followed by purchasing waves from August 18-20.
- Roan has been largely out of the spotlight since the February Grammy Awards; her "Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things" tour wrapped this past March with a closing show in São Paulo, Brazil.
Why it matters: This is Roan's highest-profile public project since the February Grammys, and it converts her pop-up tour's $800,000 fundraising momentum into a structured two-night event at a major LA venue. Every ticket dollar flows directly to The Midwest Princess Project's trans youth and LGBTQ+ programs, giving fans a direct participation path beyond merch and one-off shows.
