Ed Sheeran is set to headline a gig to raise money for The Marie Keating Foundation.
The concert will take place this Friday at 9pm, and it will be aired on Virgin Media One.
The Concert4Cancer line-up also includes Gary Barlow, The Riptide Movement, Aslan, Johnny Logan, Soda Blonde and Mike Denver.
Ronan Keating and Anna Daly will be hosting the show.
Speaking about Ed Sheeran joining the line up, Ronan said: “As one of the world’s biggest pop stars, we are absolutely honoured for Ed Sheeran to be part of the show this Friday.”
“I want to thank him for taking the time out to support the Marie Keating Foundation and I know he will be a huge highlight on the night.”
“The concert will ensure a great mix of pop, country, spokenword, folk and urban music. A night for all the family.”
Last year, the concert raised €500,000 on the night.
The proceeds from this year’s concert will go towards getting essential services up and running again for those affected by cancer.
CEO Liz Yeates said: “The last year and-a-half has been extremely challenging for everyone, but especially for those on a cancer journey. Having to isolate and keep away from family and friends, all while going through treatment, has been so difficult.”
“Throughout the pandemic, the Marie Keating Foundation has worked hard to ensure we have remained there for cancer patients and survivors, giving them a safe space to turn to when times have been tough.”
‘We’re so grateful to Virgin Media Television and to the wonderful artists and so many more who have worked with us to get this Concert4Cancer off the ground,” she added.
