Further special guests for the history-making broadcast will be announced in the coming days.

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.

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.

All donations will go directly to the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal’s Fire Fight Fund to ensure local community groups can access support throughout their recovery journey, when the time is right for them.

Seven’s telecast of the 10-hour sold out concert will be presented by Sunrise hosts Samantha Armytage and David Koch, along with Sonia Kruger, Sam Mac, Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies among others.

Seven Group Holdings (SGH) and its major shareholder Australian Capital Equity (ACE) have already pledged $10 million to the bushfire relief efforts.
