Described as 'a Global Special to support healthcare workers in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic', the event will take place on April 18th and features a star-studded line up of artists due to perform, including Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Lady Gaga, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
So, who is hosting and presenting the event that will be broadcast to millions across the world to celebrate our global community?
Jimmy Fallon, host of The Tonight Show, revealed on a FaceTime chat with Lady Gaga, who has been tasked with putting together the line-up for the huge event, that he, Stephen Colbert (The Late Show) and Jimmy Kimmel (Jimmy Kimmel Live!) the three biggest talk show hosts in the country, will be uniting to host together.
"I am co-hosting it with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, I'm very excited bout it, a lot of big names."
"It's gonna be an epic, epic event."
Elsewhere on Gaga and Fallon's chat, she FaceTimed Apple CEO, Tim Cook, who pledged $10M to the fund, which she says won't be a live charity event, instead, they'll be raising the money beforehand, and the concert is just for people to enjoy.
So far, there's been over $35M raised, and we're sure there's plenty more to come!
Gaga said: “It continues to blow my mind to watch the triumphant bravery of healthcare professionals and others working tirelessly to do their part.”
