Coldplay, Lady Gaga and Michael Buble are helping BBC Children In Need raise funds by taking part in the charity’s concert in November.
BBC Children In Need Rocks Manchester takes place Nov. 17 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in the United Kingdom.
The charity provides grants to projects in the U.K., which focus on disadvantaged children and young people. BBC Children In Need’s website explains that the charity’s vision is for every child in the U.K. to have a childhood that is safe, happy and secure, allowing them to reach their potential.
