2026 Women Who Rock Benefit Concert
Fundraising Event
When: Oct 17, 2026
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Stage AE — Pittsburgh, PA

For years, Women Who Rock has championed women in music while using the power of live events to raise critical funds and awareness for women's health research. What began as a concert has grown into a global movement, bringing together artists, survivors, researchers, advocates, and supporters to help advance a future where women's health is no longer underfunded or overlooked.
At the heart of the movement is Women Who Rock's longstanding partnership with Magee-Womens Research Institute, the nation's first and largest research institute dedicated to women's health. At a time when women's health research continues to face funding challenges nationwide, proceeds from the annual benefit concert help support life-saving research focused on breast cancer, heart disease, maternal health, reproductive biology, and countless other conditions impacting women across the globe.
The Women Who Rock Benefit Concert has sold out the past two consecutive years and has featured iconic artists including Melissa Etheridge, Jessica Simpson, Ann Wilson of Heart, Orianthi, Sheila E., and more, while raising awareness and funds for critical women's health initiatives.
In addition to a world-class concert experience, attendees can enjoy the signature Women Who Rock event features including the Pink Carpet, Beauty Bar, VIP Lounge, Rockstar Silent Auction, Photo Booth, Pop-Up Shops, Survivors Who Rock tribute, Women Who Rock Impact Award, and Rising Star Contest Winner Performance.
