Kylie Minogue has been added to the line-up for Mika’s live stream special supporting Beirut.
The I Love Beirut concert will raise funds for Grace Kelly hitmaker’s birth city, following a deadly explosion there in August which killed more than 178 people and left at least 6,000 injured.
The concert will be broadcasted on September 19th, with funds raised from ticket sales and donations going towards the Lebanese Red Cross and Save the Children UK – who are working on the ground in the aftermath of the tragedy.
And the star won’t be alone – as Say Something star Kylie is also set to appear during the show.
“So pleased to help my friend @mikasounds with a special performance on his ‘I Love Beirut’ live stream available to view on 19th September,” she tweeted.

The UK version of the gig will start at 8 pm UK time, with a U.S./South American start time of 9 pm ET, and an Australia, New Zealand and Asian kick-off time at 10 pm AEST.
Both singers previously worked together on a version of Wonderful Christmastime for the Aussie star’s Kylie Christmas: Snow Queen Edition.
Announcing the concert on Instagram, Mika wrote: “The terrible explosion in Beirut’s port killed hundreds, injured thousands and left many more homeless. I wanted to do something to help in any small way I can.
“Beirut and Lebanon is the place of my birth. It’s part of my life, it’s part of my family’s life, it’s part of my heart.”
