The event, "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief", is scheduled to include performances from Rihanna as well, also reported to be in attendance is actor George Clooney and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. More expected performances include, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Dave Matthews, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Bono, Coldplay and The Edge.
