The star-studded lineup includes global icons Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, and Shakira, alongside rising stars Sabrina Carpenter and Chapell Roan. Adding to the excitement, artistes like Benson Boone, Doechii, RAYE, and Teddy Swims are also set to perform.

 "We are thrilled that so many artistes in our community are coming together to show solidarity with fellow music makers and others affected by the recent wildfires," Mason shared, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The ceremony, scheduled to begin at 8pm ET/5pm PT, will also contribute to relief efforts for those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. Viewers can catch the event live on CBS or stream it on Paramount+.
