Chappell Roan headlines the Super Graphic Spectacular at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on October 21 and 22, 2026, a two-night benefit whose net proceeds go to her nonprofit, the Midwest Princess Project, which supports trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities. Caleb Hearon hosts, and a $15 daytime block party sits outside.
Eight days out, the bill is set. The official event page lists Lola Young, Tinashe, Amanda Lepore, Blaine Petrovia and Kyra Jete on October 21, and Caroline Polachek, MUNA, Alisa Mae, Fantasia Royale Gaga and Sweaty Eddie on October 22, with Roan closing each night with a special performance. The weekend also marks one year since the project began.
Where does the money go?
All net proceeds from the shows, the block party and a charity auction go to the Midwest Princess Project, which Roan announced on Instagram in October 2025. Melodic Magazine reports it is a sponsored project of the Catalyst Philanthropy Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity. Time Out Los Angeles names partner organizations including the Ali Forney Center, the LGBT Center, TransLatin@ Coalition, Trans Wellness Center and Backline.
That number is the project's claim, repeated by PinkNews, Time Out and SPIN, and it has a documented starting point. When Roan launched the fund, Billboard quoted her Instagram post: “The Midwest Princess Project already raised over $400,000 at my Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Pop-Up Shows.” In the same post she wrote that “we have committed to donating every dollar possible to the organizations that need it most.”
Giving through ticket sales is not new for her. On the club and theater run covered in our look at her long road to the Midwest Princess breakthrough, DSM Magazine reported in March 2024 that every stop featured local drag queens and that $1 from every ticket supported For the Gworls, a nonprofit serving Black trans and nonbinary people. The Spectacular flips that ratio: the dollar is no longer the side gift, the whole night is the gift.
What are fans paying for when the purpose is stated?
Ticket prices for the main shows had not been published in any announcement we could find as of October 2026. The official page sends buyers to AXS, and Time Out and TicketNews reported in August that access ran through a registration, with selected fans notified from August 17 and sales released in waves from August 18 through 20. Registration did not guarantee a ticket.
A premium ticket buys a seat. A benefit ticket buys a seat and a receipt for where the money went.
That is the difference worth noticing in a year of record prices and dynamic pricing fights, the backdrop we tracked in our look at 2026 ticket prices. Whatever a fan pays for a Shrine seat, they are told, in advance and in writing, that the net goes to named charities. Sponsors Cash App, eBay, MAC Cosmetics and MISTR, per SPIN and Melodic, help carry costs that would otherwise come out of that net.
Who gets in for $15?
The Super Graphic Block Party runs from 1 to 4 p.m. both days in the West Lot outside the Shrine. A separate $15 ticket buys drag performers, a DJ, Chappell themed photo ops, a costume contest, food trucks, local vendors, booths from LGBTQ+ organizations serving trans youth, and first access to Spectacular merch. Melodic and SPIN report ticket giveaways and upgrades for the evening show at the party itself. Show ticket holders get their own window from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., space limited.
For a fan who could not win the registration or afford the room, that afternoon is the actual door. It puts the people the money is for in the same parking lot as the artist raising it, which is the point Roan has made since she put local drag queens on every stop of a club tour.
What comes next?
The project is still taking submissions for the charity auction through its official page, which notes it can refuse any of them. For where the music stands, see our report on the second album question. For the full career picture, see the Chappell Roan wiki.
