Starbucks and HBO are teaming up to present the first-of-its-kind The Concert For Valor to honor America’s veterans and their families on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 11 aka Veteran’s Day. The concert will be broadcast live on HBO starting at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT on the 11th and today a number of the performers have been revealed.

Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Metallica, Rihanna, Eminem, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band are all expected to perform at the event, which will also feature appearances from Jamie Foxx, John Oliver, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, among many others.

“We are honored to play a small role to help raise awareness and support for our service men and women. Their immeasurable sacrifice deserves our nation’s gratitude. This event will not only celebrate their service, but help remind Americans of the many challenges they face on and off the battlefield. We are delighted to join with Starbucks in our mutual effort to pay tribute to our veterans and those serving in the military,” HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler said in a statement announcing the event. The live event will be executive produced by Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks and Joel Gallen, who will also direct.

We expect we’ll hear much more about this event in the next few weeks.
