BreakthroughLive - The After Party
BreakthroughLive at BIO 2026 unites artists & biotech to fight cancer - join the concert + exclusive after party!
BreakthroughLive is a high-energy showcase of “breakthrough” artists who stand in support of breakthrough innovations in the fight against cancer. Designed for attendees of BIO 2026 in San Diego, the event will feature our Breakthrough Artists Initiative performers as the opening act for Monday night BIO Gives Back concert at Waterfront Park. Through music, we are raising awareness and critical support for early-stage biotech companies working to overcome the “Valley of Death” and bring life-saving treatments to patients.
Join us afterward for an exclusive After Party @ Music Box San Diego! An evening of networking, food & beverages, and a red carpet meet-and-greet with our breakthrough artists. This special gathering brings together innovators, supporters, and performers in a unique setting where culture meets science, and meaningful connections help move breakthroughs forward.

Through his work, Mellow Man Ace has demonstrated how music can build community, foster representation, and inspire conversations around social issues that directly impact health and well-being. His legacy continues to influence artists and advocates who use culture and storytelling to drive awareness, connection, and positive community impact.
