Throughout the broadcast, viewers will be encouraged to donate via www.firefightaustralia.com to support those whose lives have been impacted by the worst bushfire season in living memory.
Contributions will go directly to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal to help them support communities on the long road ahead by providing much-needed funding for locally identified needs throughout the recovery and rebuilding process.
The concert will be hosted by writer, actor and comedian Celeste Barber, who has already raised more than $50 million towards bushfire relief through her own record-breaking online appeal.
"I'm so pumped to be hosting this event to raise money for national bushfire relief. I've already started stretching," Barber said.
Sunrise hosts Samantha Armytage and David Koch will lead Channel 7's coverage, along with Sonia Kruger, Sam Mac, Larry Emdur and others.
