The Twitch Stream Aid 2020 event will feature All Time Low‘s Alex Gaskarth, Halestorm and Steve Aoki performing tomorrow. The all-day special, hosted by Twitch, will bring the worlds of music, sports and gaming together to raise funds to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Proceeds will go to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

Beginning at 12 p.m. tomorrow (March 28), viewers can log into Twitch to watch exclusive performances from a wide array of artists. In addition, there will be athlete and celebrity appearances, as well as an entire gaming network (dubbed “twitchrivals’) dedicated to livestreaming games. During the Stream Aid broadcast, viewers will be given opportunities to donate to the cause. For more details on what you can do from your home, visit the Twitch site here.

The Stream Aid lineup is heavy on pop notables. Among those slated to appear include the Chainsmokers, Camila Cabello, Diplo, Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Joe Jonas and Rita Ora. Members of Bastille, Cage The Elephant, Mumford And Sons, OneRepublic, X-Ambassadors and Young The Giant will also be appearing. (A scheduled appearance from Die Antwoord can’t do anything but stand out.)

Twitch plans to put its community’s charity muscles to good use on Saturday, by hosting a benefit called Stream Aid 2020 that will feature a host of celebrity guests, a lot of music, and a little bit of gaming. (Think UNO and Fortnite.) The event will go live on Twitch’s channel at 12PM ET and stay up for 12 full hours, and the goal is to raise as much money as possible for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. Everyone from Diplo to Charlie Puth to Die Antwoord will be there.

On the gaming side of things, streamer Nick “Nick Eh 30” Amyoony will be headlining the Fortnite tournament with his duos partner Joe Jonas. (He’s a fan.) Amyoony is a Twitch darling — follower count: 869.5k at present — and a professional Fortnite streamer, so it’s no surprise the company chose him to represent the brand at a tournament, though he says he’s not 100 percent sure what the format will be yet.

Even so, Amyoony says he’s participating because he wants to do his part. “Literally every single person who’s in my livestream has someone who’s affected, whether it be a parent out of a job, a friend who might be sick,” he says. “A lot of people are a little nervous. They don’t know how long they’re going to be out from work, out from school, and they realize how serious it is.”

Amyoony sees his role as helping people get their minds off of the global pandemic, in the same way a friend might help keep you from spiraling over a breakup. He also says he’s seen his Twitch community grow — “a lot more people are watching, and you can definitely tell from the numbers,” he says — during this weird time, when everyone’s trapped inside. (Though his routine hasn’t changed much: he still streams eight hours a day, but has stopped going to the gym for his workouts.)
