Audacy is set to honor women's contributions to music with its fifth annual Leading Ladies concert, taking place on April 3, 2025, at the historic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York. This high-profile event promises to be both uplifting and empowering, bringing together some of the most talented female artists from various genres, including Gwen Stefani, Lainey Wilson, Alessia Cara, Kassi Ashton, and Haven Madison.
The concert will feature alternating acoustic performances and personal stories shared by the artists, providing attendees with intimate insights behind their music. Slotted under the banner of Audacy's commitment to amplifying women's voices, this year's event aims to create a more equitable music industry and promote women's health.
The success of the Leading Ladies event lies not only in its entertainment value but also its philanthropic efforts. A portion of the proceeds from tickets will be donated to Women Who Rock, which is dedicated to advancing women's health and celebrating women’s achievements in music. Partnering with Magee-Women’s Research Institute, the initiative aims to raise awareness and funds for studies focusing on issues affecting women's health, areas often underfunded and underexplored.
The concert will be hosted by Audacy's own Katie Neal and Karen Carson of New 102.7, who are poised to guide audiences through the night’s inspiring performances. Audacy's Interim President and CEO, Kelli Turner, expressed the company’s enthusiasm, stating, "The essence of Leading Ladies is Audacy’s passion for spotlighting music’s most influential female artists and their impact on our industry. Music uplifts, unites, and inspires us all, and we’re proud to cultivate a special evening for our fans by amplifying these wonderfully talented women.”
Fans eager to attend can access pre-sales for tickets beginning February 27, 2025, from 10 AM to 10 PM ET. General ticket sales will commence the following day, February 28, 2025, at 10 AM ET.

With its commitment to celebrating and uplifting women, Audacy's Leading Ladies concert embodies the spirit of creativity and resilience.
