There will be music blaring “Late in the Evening” on Thursday, March 5th, at the Beacon Theater.
Paul Simon is set to headline the 10th annual “Love Rocks NYC” concert.
The Grammy winner, 84, is on somewhat of a comeback after announcing in 2023 that it had become “extremely” unlikely he would ever perform live again, following the loss of most of his hearing in his left ear.

But last year, the “Graceland” crooner shared that his hearing had unexpectedly improved thanks to help from Stanford researchers — so much so that he’s embarking on a tour this summer.
Simon isn’t the only musical superstar set to appear.
The all-star lineup is set to include Elvis Costello, Mary J. Blige, Linda Perry, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Susanna Hoffs, and Trombone Shorty. Celebrity announcers include Jeff Ross, Julianne Moore and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alum JB Smoove.

“Love Rocks NYC,” the brainchild of real estate broker Greg Williamson, events producer Nicole Recter and fashion designer John Varvatos, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and has raised millions of dollars for God’s Love We Deliver.
The cherished New York charity makes and delivers medically tailored meals to New Yorkers who are too sick to shop and cook for themselves. Last year, the staff and thousands of volunteers cooked, packaged and delivered 4 million meals to 15,000 New Yorkers.
God’s Love We Deliver pre-sale tickets go live this Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. ET, and public tickets go live on Friday at 10:00 a.m. ET through www.ticketmaster.com.
