Chappell Roan has just announced a fundraiser in aid of trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities through her non-profit The Midwest Princess Project. Aptly titled The Super Graphic Spectacular, the two-day event will take place in The Shrine in Los Angeles, California, on October 21 and 22. 

The artist will headline both nights of the event, which will also feature a number of collaborators, including live performances, drag acts, comedy and guest appearances. Roan had this to say on her Instagram: “It will be filled with drag, dance, guests, surprises, and funnnn!! I will be doing a special performance as well”.

The fundraiser marks one year since Chappell Roan’s non-profit was established in 2025, and all funds raised will help to “provide resources for trans youth & LGBTQ+ communities”. Through donations and proceeds, the non-profit has already raised $800,000 from the singer’s Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things pop-up shows. 

 

Tickets for The Super Graphic Spectacular will be sold through Fair AXS via a registration system designed to get tickets straight to fans and avoid scalpers and bots. Those who wish to attend can sign up for a chance to buy tickets until August 11, with the signer disclosing, “We have priced the tickets higher than usual for charity”.

Chappell Roan has been an outspoken member of the LGBTQ+ community since breaking into the mainstream and continues to work tirelessly through her fundraising efforts to provide future generations with a brighter and safer tomorrow.

The two-day fundraiser will mark one of Roan’s first major performances since her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things tour concluded in March in São Paulo, Brazil. The artist is also due to perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields music festival later this month on August 29, which will see 100% of net proceeds and profits go directly to organisations advocating for women and girls.
