Starring Betty Who — Live in Concert
Saturday, October 3, 2026 · Hyatt Regency SLC
Utah’s biggest party & fundraiser for LGBTQ advocacy is going all out, with a live concert from Betty Who and The Galaxxy Band, DJs, and dancing until close. Join us for the Donor Dinner and the show, or just come for the party. However you celebrate with us, every ticket funds the work ahead for LGBTQ Utahns.
Headlining live in concert
Betty Who is the Australian-American pop powerhouse behind hits like “Somebody Loves You” and a chart-topping cover of “I Love You Always Forever,” known for high-energy performances and a devoted, hard-won fanbase. She headlines Allies: Take Flight, bringing her signature synth-pop sound to Equality Utah’s 25th anniversary celebration.
Live music
Led by Marrlo Suzzanne, The Galaxxy Band is a Salt Lake City drag rock ensemble known for glitter, theatrical flair, and genre-spanning sets that turn any room into a party. They bring that same electric energy to the Allies stage this October.
Host for the event
Eli McCann is a Salt Lake City writer, attorney, and storyteller known for his sharp humor and long-standing commitment to Utah’s LGBTQ community. He returns to host Allies: Take Flight, keeping the night moving with the same wit that’s made him a familiar voice across the state.
Allies is still a red carpet event this year. Think First Class Couture, elevated and polished, Met Gala vibes. Styling inspiration is on our Instagram @equalityutah.
