The line up for the event includes over 65 acts, with Ed Sheeran (pictured) and Bruno Mars topping the bill, while also set to appear are Panic! at the Disco, Cardi B, Green Day, Coldplay, Charli XCX, the Flaming Lips, Korn, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Lil Uzi Vert, Paramore, Twenty One Pilots, Royal Blood, Weezer, David Guetta, Jess Glynne, Charlie Puth, Wiz Khalifa and more. Cardi B said:

“Don’t play yourself! Tune into PlayOn Fest April 24-26 and help us raise money for the World Health Organization to boost COVID-19 relief funds. Thank you to all of the healthcare workers who are dedicating their services and helping to save lives! Since I can’t get on stage right now…I’m throwing it back to my party at the Global Citizen Festival to hopefully send some love and light to y’all. Stay safe everyone!”

LL Cool J is set to open the festival, and funds raised will be directly donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization (WHO).
