Among the freshly announced acts are Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Manic Street Preachers, Tom Odell, Becky Hill and The Kingdom Choir. The concert will take place March 29 at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham and will be aired on ITV.

At this moment in time nothing is more important than showing the people affected by conflict in Ukraine that we stand with them, that we are family."
