The lineup includes Brittany Howard, Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris, Jason Isbell, Hayley Williams, Julien Baker, Amanda Shires, Brothers Osborne, Yola, Allison Russell, and more.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the Tennessee Equality Project, Inclusion Tennessee, OUTMemphis and the Tennessee Pride Chamber in association with the Looking Out Foundation. Donations are currently being accepted by the Looking Out Foundation. The Tennessee Equality Project encourages residents of the state to register to vote.
“As a queer and intersectional artist and mother, raising my son in Nashville, it’s important to me to support these wonderful LGBTQIA+ advocacy organizations in Tennessee who work hard to build bridges, reduce harm, and promote equality for all Tennesseans. Tennessee,” Allison Russell said in a statement. “LGBTQIA+ contributions and creativity are central to all genres of modern song and performance art. I think it says a lot that so many in our community feel the same call to support, celebrate and cheer!”
“SB3/HB9 and SB1/HB1 are clearly targeted attacks on Tennesseans who have done nothing wrong,” added Jason Isbell. “These bills add to an attempt to eradicate a valuable part of our community and force good people to live in fear. We cannot, in good conscience, sit idly by and let that happen.”
