The night was portrayed as magical and high-energy, celebrating artistry across generations while leveraging star power for philanthropy and community.

The 11th annual Ally Coalition Talent Show at NYU Skirball Center featured Florence Welch and Hayley Williams performing with Bleachers, joined by a rotating lineup that included Claud, Samia, Annie DiRusso, Hank Heaven, and Rachel Zegler, delivering a string of collaborative numbers.

Highlights included a collaborative run where Welch and Williams joined Bleachers for a duo of performances, and a standout moment when Anastasio joined for Goodmorning, followed by a cover of That Summer Feeling with the same group and later a Lopin’ Along Through the Cosmos collaboration with Welch, Williams, and Bleachers.

The finale saw Hayley Williams join Bleachers for Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call, with Williams announcing that she will donate one dollar from every ticket sale on her 2026 tour to the Ally Coalition.

Organizers emphasized the charitable mission of the Ally Coalition and invited audiences to learn more about the organization on its official site.
