On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, join Jessica Simpson at the 2025 Women Who Rock™ Benefit Concert on September 5 at Pittsburgh’s STAGE AE, where a 100% female-fronted lineup rocks for women’s health research at Magee-Womens Research Institute!
Women Who Rock
The Women Who Rock™ Benefit Concert, presented by Gibson Gives, returns to Pittsburgh’s STAGE AE on Friday, September 5, 2025, with pop icon Jessica Simpson headlining. This electrifying event isn’t just a night of music—it’s a powerful movement to support underfunded women’s health research at Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation (MWRI). With tickets already on sale, the concert promises a 100% female-fronted lineup, exclusive experiences, and a celebration of women in music and health advocacy.
The Women Who Rock™ Benefit Concert is more than a show—it’s a call to action. Less than 10% of federal health research funding is allocated to women’s health, and those resources are often at risk. Proceeds from the event directly fund MWRI, the nation’s largest research institute dedicated to women’s health and reproductive biology. MWRI’s 319 active studies cover 292 conditions, including breast and gynecologic cancers, heart health, infertility, maternal and infant mortality, and more, impacting 162,000 clinical trial participants worldwide.
This year’s concert will feature a dynamic lineup on the GBU Life Stage, including DJ ms.TIZA, country-folk band Buffalo Rose, and the 2025 WWR Rising Star Contest Winner. A special in-show moment, “Survivors Who Rock,” presented by UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, will honor women who have overcome health challenges. The event will be hosted by Kelly Dzanaj, on-air personality for 100.7 Star FM.
