Chappell Roan has announced The Super Graphic Spectacular, a two-day charity event benefiting trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities, set for Oct. 21-22 at The Shrine in Los Angeles. The event is a collaboration between Roan and The Midwest Princess Project, her non-profit initiative, and marks one year of the organisation's work raising money for programmes supporting those communities.

The Super Graphic Spectacular is billed as an immersive live event, with headlining performances from Roan alongside drag performers, advocates and comedians. Its stated aim is to bring together artists, fans, creatives and advocates to celebrate queer joy, visibility and collective action. Ticket information, the full lineup and special guests will be revealed at a later date.

Every dollar raised will go toward The Midwest Princess Project's ongoing initiatives, which fund care, connection and access to resources. To date, the organisation has raised $800,000 through Roan's shows and donations, according to Billboard.

Ticketing will use AXS's Fair AXS system, designed to keep the purchase process fair and transparent and to block scalpers and bots — a growing concern in the live business as automated buying drives up resale prices. Interested attendees can pre-register through the event's website, with registration closing on Aug. 11 at 8:59 p.m. PT. Fans selected to buy tickets will then receive a private purchase link.

The Midwest Princess Project was formally announced by Roan as an organisation supporting transgender youth and LGBTQ+ communities. Them The charity event follows a breakout period for the 27-year-old singer from Missouri. Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 — the chart that ranks the most consumed albums in the US each week — and she has landed nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100, the singles chart.

At the 2025 Grammy Awards in February, Roan won best new artist, beating a field that included Sabrina Carpenter. Reuters She used her acceptance speech to call for health care and profit sharing for young artists, a moment that drew widespread attention. AP News

Before The Super Graphic Spectacular, Roan is scheduled to perform at Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields festival, which Rodrigo announced on June 22 and which supports charities helping women and girls. That festival features an all-women lineup including Stevie Nicks, KATSEYE and Doechii. Roan also has a separate show, "Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things," planned for Pasadena, California in October.

For fans, the pre-registration window is the immediate action point. With registration closing in four days and a private-link system controlling who can buy, waiting on a general on-sale is not an option.
