Dwayne Johnson will host the prime-time telecast, which is not a telethon but aims to “combat the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on marginalized communities” and urge governments around the world to make testing and future vaccines available for the less advantaged.

Performers announced include Coldplay (one of the first artists to align with Global Citizen), Justin Bieber with Quavo, Miley Cyrus, Shakira, J Balvin, Chloe x Halle, Christine and the Queens, Usher and Yemi Alade.

The concert special follows “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future — The Summit,” a series of discussions on scientific progress having to do with vaccines and therapeutics.

Other celebs making non-performing appearances in the concert telecast include Chris Rock, Olivia Colman, Charlize Theron, Billy Porter, Hugh Jackman and many more. The conversations in the “Summit” portion will be led by journalists like Katie Couric and Mallika Kapur and include Cyrus, Angelique Kidjo and Ken Jeong among those talking with outspoken leaders ranging from Melinda Gates to NAACP president Derrick Johnson.

“Global Citizens around the world are calling for systemic change,” Global Citizen co-founder/CEO Hugh Evans said in a statement — “change that brings about justice for everyone, everywhere, regardless of where they were born or the color of their skin. If we are to end COVID-19 for all, we need our world leaders to commit the billions of dollars needed to equitably deliver testing, treatments and vaccines.” Evans said he hopes the concert will serve as “a motivator for change and unity, together with science and data, to honor the problem solvers — including doctors, scientists, lab workers, essential workers and human rights advocates — who are racing to not only create the cure for COVID-19, but also to ensure that it’s available for everyone who needs it.”

The concert special will be co-hosted by Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
