Chappell Roan is gearing up for one of the most glamorous performances of her career. The 26-year-old Pink Pony Club singer will take center stage at the 33rd annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
The star-studded event is set to take place on March 2 in Hollywood, with a glittering guest list of A-list celebrities expected to attend.
Elton John, the legendary Rocket Man singer and founder of the AIDS Foundation, announced Roan’s performance on Tuesday. He expressed his excitement and pride in giving her this opportunity:
"Music has always been a force for change, uniting communities, raising awareness, and inspiring hope in the fight against AIDS. Today, as AIDS still claims a life every minute, that spirit fuels our mission to end the epidemic by standing against stigma and ensuring equal access to care."
He added, "(My husband) David (Furnish) and I are thrilled to gather with friends and supporters once again, and we’re honoured to welcome the bold and authentic Chappell Roan as this year’s performer, whose artistry embodies the power of music to inspire change."
A Rising Star on the Horizon
2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Roan, who is rumored to be preparing her highly anticipated second album. Her debut, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, released in 2023, steadily gained momentum and became a sleeper hit, eventually topping charts worldwide in 2024.
With her bold artistry and growing recognition, Chappell Roan’s performance at Elton John’s Academy Awards Viewing Party promises to be a night to remember, solidifying her place as one of music’s most exciting rising stars.
