According to Rolling Stone, the annual benefit concert will change locations as it was often being held outside the historical building of the Stonewall Inn in West Village, New York City. The event will now be at the Public Square & Gardens at Hudson Yards in West Side.
Being an LGBTQIA+ ally herself for years, Christina Aguilera is the perfect headliner and she couldn't be more excited for the upcoming celebration.
