Chappell Roan and her non-profit The Midwest Princess Project have announced a two-day fundraiser “The Super Graphic Spectacular” taking place at Los Angeles’ The Shrine on October 21-22.
The events, according to a release,
will “unite artists, fans, drag performers, comedians and advocates” for two nights that will both feature headlining performances from Roan and collaborators. The “Spectacular” is described as an immersive experience that will provide volunteer opportunities to benefit trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities through the Midwest Princess Project, which is celebrating its first full year of impact. Each night will have live performances, guest appearances, drag artistry, comedy and more.
Each dollar raised through the Los Angeles events will “directly benefit the organization’s ongoing initiatives committed to fostering care, connection and access to resources.” Thus far, the organization has raised $800,000 through donations and proceeds from Roan’s “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” pop-up shows.
Tickets for the events will be routed through Fair AXS in a fan-first approach. Pre-registration begins on August 7 at 10 a.m. PT, and everyone who registers during the window will be able to purchase a ticket. Registration closes on August 11 at 8:59 p.m. PT, while ticket purchasing will open in waves from August 18-20.
Roan has largely been out of the spotlight throughout the year following her appearance at the Grammy Awards in February. Her “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour concluded this past March with a closing show in São Paulo, Brazil.
