Everything You Need to Know About Women Who Rock’s 2025 Benefit Concert

Grab your girls and get your glam on because Women Who Rock’s 2025 Benefit Concert is just a few days away! But this isn’t just a concert; This all-female fronted lineup headlined by Jessica Simpson is leading the charge on women’s health funding with guitars, glitter, and unapologetic glam to benefit Magee Women’s Research Institute. From parking to pink carpet fashion, here’s everything you need to know before the amps come on.

Let’s start with everyone’s favorite word: free. That’s right! Our all-ages show at Stage AE will officially kick off at 7:30pm, but make sure to get to the event before the doors open at 6:30pm to snag a parking spot at no cost to concert goers in Gold Lot 1. Besides, you’ll want to get to the venue early to take part in all the pre-show fun!

First, strike a pose for a picture on the pink carpet presented by UPMC Health Plan in your best rocker chic attire. Nothing to wear? No, problem! This year, Women Who Rock launched the Pink Carpet Collection, so you can feel pretty in pink! If graphic tees and sequins aren’t your thing, check out the Jessica Simpson Collection for everything from denim to dresses.

It may be tempting to bring a big bag for all the goodies in store at the show, but you might not clear security if you aren’t careful. Small bags and larger clear bags are the only ones accepted to ensure safety at the event. Be sure to check Stage AE’s list of rules to make sure you and your friends and/or family can get in without a hitch!

You made it into the venue! Let the sipping and shopping begin. Treat yourself with a WWR signature cocktail, shopping at the Beauty Bar, or bid for your chance to win incredible prizes from autographed guitars to one of a kind culinary experiences at the silent auction presented by BAIRD. There is something for everyone with featured vendors including Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh, Renee Piatt Collection, The Sol Collective and more! If you missed your photo op on the pink carpet on the way in, seize the moment before the show starts to make some memories at the photo booth presented by the Jessica Simpson Collection.

If you are a lucky ticket holder of The VIP Experience, enjoy a host of amenities just for you! Make your way up to the second-floor lounge for exclusive access to the pre-show happy hour including complimentary bubbly, appetizers and a gift bag valued at over $250 in addition to the only reserved seats in the house. Take your seats, because the show is about to start!

Finally, the lights are low and the first chord rings out from the loud speakers as the crowd erupts into applause. It’s showtime! 100.7 Star’s Kelly Dzanaj will emcee the show and introduce the performers including Pittsburgh’s own local talent, Tallie, Buffalo Rose, and Ms. Tiza. For the main event, multi-platinum singer, actress, and entrepreneur Jessica Simpson will take the stage after a 15-year hiatus from music! After releasing her new EP, Nashville Canyon Pt. 1, earlier this year, this special performance comes the same day as the release of Nashville Canyon Pt. 2 and is sure to be a night to remember.

In addition to the performances, every year Women Who Rock recognizes a woman for her impact on the community with the WWR Impact Award. This year that recipient is entrepreneur, fashion designer and philanthropist Kiya Tomlin! Be sure to keep your ears perked for this unique and rewarding part of the show to learn more about how Kiya creates opportunities for women in need or check out her website!

With a stacked female-fronted lineup and Jessica Simpson’s long-awaited return to the stage, this is a show you’ll be talking about long after the final note. It’s not just a concert; It’s a movement. The 2025 Women Who Rock Benefit Concert is a night built to uplift, connect, and celebrate women of all walks of life.
