Lady GaGa, U2's Bono and The Edge, and Usher are among the artists who will perform at the ten-year anniversary celebration of former president Bill Clinton's Foundation.
'A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J Clinton Foundation' will take place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA on October 15.
Clinton said: "I am proud that some of today's most influential performers are coming together to raise awareness about the work of my Foundation.
"In the past decade, commitments to my Clinton Global Initiative have improved the lives of more than 300 million people around the world. We've lowered the cost of AIDS and HIV treatment, combated climate change, strengthened economies, increased access to education and healthcare, provided financing and mentoring for small businesses."
Clinton added: "This celebration marks ten years of these efforts and demonstrates how much we can do to make a difference in the years ahead."
Lady GaGa, Usher and U2's Bono and The Edge - who will take to the stage to deliver a "rare acoustic performance" - are the first artists to be announced. Further performers and attendees will be named at a later date.
The concert will be broadcast live on Yahoo!
