(CARTERET, NJ) -- Legendary singer, songwriter, and global feminist activist Annie Lennox will take the stage on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at The Carteret Performing Arts and Events Center, for an unforgettable evening of stories, inspiration, and impact. Known for her groundbreaking music career and tireless activism, Lennox will share personal reflections on creativity, advocacy, and what it means to use one's voice for change.
Moderated by V (formerly Eve Ensler), the Obie Award-winning playwright, author and founder of V Day and One Billion Rising; this rare appearance offers fans, changemakers, and cultural enthusiasts the opportunity to hear directly from one of the most influential voices of our time. This is more than a conversation — it’s a journey through music, meaning, and movement.
This event is in support of the release of Annie Lennox: Retrospective. Made in close collaboration with Lennox herself, her new book, Retrospective beautifully gathers together over 200 images, some created by celebrated photographers such as Richard Avedon, Paolo Roversi, Bettina Rheims and Ellen von Unwerth, interspersed with song lyrics and personal anecdotes to provide a fascinating insight into aspects of Annie Lennox’s life as a performer, song-writer and creative force.
