Patti Smith Tribute Concert Set for March

Patti Smith will be honored with a tribute concert titled 'People Have the Power' at Carnegie Hall on March 26, 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of her iconic album 'Horses'. The event will feature performances from notable artists including Michael Stipe, Kim Gordon, Matt Berninger, Karen O, and many more, alongside a house band that includes members of Smith's own band and high-profile musicians such as Flea and Steve Jordan. The concert aims to celebrate Smith's entire catalog, while also highlighting her debut album, and proceeds will benefit music education for underserved youth. Michael Dorf, the founder of City Winery, organizes the concert as part of his ongoing 'Music Of' benefit series, which has successfully raised over $2 million for charity since its inception. Additional artists are expected to be announced as the date approaches, and tickets are currently on sale. Smith has participated in past tribute concerts, reinforcing her deep connection to the event.
