Artists Line up for ‘One World: Together at Home’
A few weeks ago, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin played a 30-minute live social media concert with the goal to bring the world together, spread awareness, and raise funds.

He then nominated others under the #TogetherAtHome challenge which led to legendary performances from other major artists. Now, Lady Gaga is taking it up a notch as she collaborates with the WHO to bring forward a well-curated panel of artists and healthcare experts under the umbrella of One World: Together At Home, a virtual concert aiming to raise funds for protective equipment for healthcare professionals working on the frontlines of this pandemic.
1. It all began when Global Citizen announced the event on its website and across all social media platforms. Here’s a little video they shared on their Twitter handle:
