The 2025 Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser will broadcast from Nashville for the first time on August 15, hosted by Sheryl Crow and featuring Dolly Parton.

The one-hour special will take place at The Pinnacle, a new 4,500-capacity venue in Music City, and will bring together musicians, celebrities, athletes, cancer survivors, and medical professionals to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Additional performers and appearances will be announced in the coming weeks. The commercial-free broadcast will be shown on over 30 platforms, including all major TV networks and streaming services.

SU2C co-founder Katie Couric said in a statement:

“The goal of Stand Up To Cancer has always been about working collaboratively to push cancer research forward so we could help patients as quickly as possible. Nearly two decades later, it’s incredibly gratifying and inspiring to see the impact of this research. Bringing the show to Nashville will infuse new energy and excitement into our mission.”
