Ally Coalition, Jack and Rachel Antonoff’s LGBTQ+ equality nonprofit, held its eight annual benefit show at the NYU Skirball Center last night (December 19). Returning with its first-person edition since 2019 after being staged virtually last year, the event featured surprise appearances by Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, the 1975’s Matty Healy, Weyes Blood, and Trey Anastasio, who finished off the night with a group singalong of Jackson Browne’s classic ‘These Days’. Check out footage of the performance below (via Stereogum).
Elsewhere in the night, Bridgers was joined by Healy, Dacus, Antonoff, and Christian Lee Hutson for a performance of ‘I Know The End’, while Antonoff, Healy, and Anastasio offered their take on the National’s ‘Bloodbuzz Ohio’.
Earlier this month, Bridgers joined Billie Eilish in Los Angeles to perform ‘Motion Sickness’ and appeared in a live concert adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas with Danny Elfman at London’s Wembley Arena.
