Who is performing on the show?
Ed Sheeran
Superstar singer Ed tops the bill at the Concert for Ukraine.
He will headline the special gig and play a set of his famous hits.
The singer has released four albums since 2011 and his 2017 album Divide, sold 232,000 more copies in its first day than any other album in 2016.
On top of that, his Castle On The Hill tour broke the record for highest-grossing tour of all time - which was previously held by U2's 360 tour.
Camila Cabello
Camila is another big name in the line-up.
She is best known for her hits I Know What You Did Last Summer and Bad Things.
Camila said: “My heart is breaking for the people of Ukraine.
"As refugees from Ukraine join millions of other displaced people around the globe, we all have a responsibility.
"One of the biggest needs is to get funds to organisations who can serve these communities directly, so we’re focusing our efforts on doing that as quickly as we can.”
Emeli Sande
Scottish singer Emeli will perform at the concert.
Her 2012 major label debut Our Version of Events charted at number one in the UK thanks to singles Heaven, Daddy and Read All About It.
Emeli said: “I will be singing to try to help every human being forced to flee their home and in solidarity with those being racially discriminated against even within this humanitarian crisis.
"Nobody should be refused access to relief, aid and the right to cross the border to safety, and I’m pleased for the chance to support the DEC’s appeal to help all people whose lives have been affected by the conflict.”
Gregory Porter
Gregory is a world famous award-winning American singer.
He famously won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2014 for Liquid Spirit and again in 2017 for Take Me to the Alley.
Gregory said: "So thankful to be able to raise my voice in the chorus of peace.
"Together we can show our support for those that are sadly affected by the current world's events.”
