Lady Gaga will curate "One World: Together At Home," a TV concert event produced by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization.

The Live Aid-styled event will air at 8 p.m. ET on April 18 on ABC, NBC, Viacom CBS Networks and iHeartMedia. Internationally, the show will air on BBC One on April 19. Streaming will also be available on Amazon Prime, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Tidal, Twitch, Twitter, Yahoo and YouTube among other platforms.

Along with Gaga, the special will include appearances by Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Kacey Musgraves, Billie Eilish, Andrea Bocelli, Alanis Morissette, Eddie Vedder, John Legend and Lizzo, among others. Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will share hosting duties.

The event will celebrate healthcare workers and support the U.N. Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund. According to Gaga, about $35 million has already been raised during the past week to support the World Health Organization's efforts. The concert isn't a fundraiser, but donations to the WHO are ongoing.
