As we close the chapter on Audacy's eighth annual We Can Survive at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, our hearts are filled with gratitude and our minds buzzing with the best Pop songs of the decade.
From Doja Cat commanding the stage with hits from Hot Pink and Planet Her to The Kid LAROI singing the house down with "Stay," to the Black Eyed Peas transcending time and space with live renditions of their most beloved tracks, WCS was a triumphant return to live music with an angle focused on the importance of mental health.
Saturday's show was focused on supporting I'm Listening and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's goal of taking care of our mental health just as we would our physical health.
A portion of We Can Survive's ticket sales went directly to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. Together we can save lives!
I'm Listening is Audacy's is a 365-day a year initiative that aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they are not alone and that it is okay not to be OK.

The "Icy" queen herself kicked off the show, hyping us up with "My Type," and her commanding presence.

Before taking over the Hollywood Bowl stage, The Kid LAROI hit it off with Audacy's CEO, David Field. TBH a collab just as sick as LAROI and Bieber. On stage the "Without You" singer set things off like only he could.
5.Shawn Mendes filled the Bowl with 'Wonder'
For the second time ever, Mendes was able to perform tracks from his latest album, Wonder, for a live audience.
4.Black Eyed Peas delivered "a good night!"

BEP had us all feeling the love as the supergroup took us through their greatest hits of all time.
3.Maroon 5 brought all the moves, even the ones "like Jagger"
Adam Levine never fails to have us up and dancing. Decked out in diamonds, the Maroon 5 frontman filled the crowd with sheer delight.
2.Doja really said, "Get in to it YUH!"
The Los Angeles native doesn't get to perform in her hometown often, so of course, when taking the Hollywood Bowl stage tonight, the Valley girl gave her stans an action-packed, sultry set. Doja left us screaming, "wanna know what it's like!"
1.Coldplay ended the night with a surprise from Sporty Spice

The Chris Martin-lead, powerhouse band closed out the star-studded evening, but before the rainbow, Coldplay-drenched fireworks display went off, Martin brought out Mel C, Sporty Spice, to sing "2 Become 1."
