Cardi-B and Ed Sheeran among stars performing at virtual music festival PlayOn: how to attend

Warner Music Group has announced that they will make up for the Glastonbury and other major music festivals getting canceled with a brand new music festival featuring a star-studded lineup.

The three-day music festival is taking place this weekend (24-26 Aprilfrom 12am to midnight) and will showcase performances from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Cardi B.

The festival will showcase a medley of old performances from the stars and you don't need tickets - just head over to PlayOnFest.com to tune in.

The virtual event hopes that it will attract donations to raise funds for the World Health Organisation's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

The full line up features all of the Warner Music artists, including big names like Cardi B, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Roddy Rich and David Guetta.

Unfortunately, none of the footage will be new, however, in a statement, Warner said: "The majority of this legendary footage has never and will never be available again anywhere else online."

In a statement, Cardi B said: "Thank you to all of the healthcare workers who are dedicating their services and helping to save lives!

"Since I can’t get on stage right now, I’m throwing it back to my party at the Global Citizen Festival to hopefully send some love and light to y’all. Stay safe everyone!"

If you are impressed by the concern you can donate to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund .
