The three-hour performance -- which kicks off at 7 p.m. in Manchester (that's 2 p.m. ET) -- will be streamed both locally and in at least 38 countries around the world, including the U.S., China, France, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. All proceeds from the benefit will go to a charity fund set up by the Manchester City Council in the wake of the May 22 attack.
