Bruce Springsteen and Jon Stewart are set to headline Stand Up For Heroes’ milestone 20th anniversary celebration this November. The benefit concert will take place on November 9 at David Geffen Hall in New York City, bringing together top-tier entertainment to support injured veterans and their families.
The event will feature an impressive lineup of performers alongside Springsteen and Stewart. Comedians Josh Johnson and Hasan Minhaj will join Stewart on the comedy side, while musical performances will come from the Resilient and Alex Warren. Springsteen, who took a break from the event in 2025, is making his return after appearing at nearly every edition since the inaugural show in 2007.
Stand Up For Heroes was established by ABC correspondent Bob Woodruff following his recovery from injuries sustained while reporting in Iraq. Over two decades, the Bob Woodruff Foundation and New York Comedy Festival have organized the annual fundraiser, which has accumulated $117 million in support for veterans, military families, and caregivers. The event has featured performances from internationally recognized artists including Roger Waters, John Mellencamp, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers throughout its history.
