A concert in aid of women and children in Ukraine will be staged at Manchester's Co-Op Live venue next year, with Bob Geldof, Madness and Peter Hook And The Light among the acts on the bill.
Songs Of Freedom, as the event is called, is scheduled for 3 February and will be broadcast worldwide.
Money raised will go to the charities United24, Voices of Children, Sviatoslav Vakarchuk Charitable Foundation (People Of The Future), and Masha Foundation.
Sir Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand and Sean Penn will appear via video link.
Live performances are also planned from The Doobie Brothers, Chrissie Hynde, Nick Lowe, Inspiral Carpets and Squeeze's Chris Difford.
The concept came from Carlisle indie band Hardwicke Circus, who were the first British band to tour Ukraine since the outbreak of war.
The band's singer and guitarist Johnny Foster said: "We wanted to bring some light relief to people who have been through so much.
“We are proud to see this simple idea grow into an international night of solidarity.”
Harvey Goldsmith, who promoted Live Aid in 1985, will promote the Manchester concert.
Live Aid was organised by Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for famine relief efforts in Ethiopia.
Goldsmith said: "I am really pleased to have the opportunity to play my part in helping the children and communities in Ukraine.
"This war has gone on far too long and more and more children are suffering as a result.
"The concert at Co-Op in Manchester will highlight their plight.
“We must stand together and play a role in pressuring the need to stop this war.”
Before the show, a special recording of the Ukrainian song Shchedryk (Carol Of The Bells) will be released, featuring the Songs For Ukraine Choir, the Royal Opera Choir and the London Metropolitan Orchestra.
A national campaign will back the song, aiming to take it to number one in the UK singles chart, with all proceeds going towards the humanitarian appeal.
More acts are expected to be announced in due course.
Tickets go on general sale on Monday, 16 November, with venue pre-sales beginning on Thursday, 12 November.
