On Saturday, October 20, 2018, 97.1 AMP Radio (a Radio.com station) turned the iconic Hollywood Bowl pink to celebrate survivors and honor those who lost their battle to breast cancer, at the 6th annual We Can Survive concert.
The sixth annual concert event is held each year during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is presented in collaboration with Young Survival Coalition (YSC).
This years concert featured performances from Marshmello, Shawn Mendes, Meghan Trainor, G-Eazy, Tyga, Charlie Puth, Ella Mai, Khalid, and NF.
The night’s highlights included Ella Mai kicking off the concert with her infectious smooth vocals, she had everyone singing along to her hit single “Boo’d Up.” Khalid surprised the crowd with an energetic, feel good set, he got everyone up on their feet and it got loud especially when he performed “Location.” Which if you didn’t figure out by now, the location to be at last night was the Hollywood Bowl.
The man of the night Shawn Mendes hit the stage and it was pandemonium, the crowd was singing, dancing and screaming. “In My Blood” was the crowds favorite, at one point Shawn stopped singing and the crowd sang the song while he stared and smiled. An unforgettable night for Shawn indeed.
