Sara Bareilles is one of the many performers who’ll appear at this year’s National Memorial Day Concert on PBS.
The concert is normally staged live on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol but due to the pandemic, the event will be pre-recorded. The 90-minute special, hosted by Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise, will air Sunday, May 30.
In addition to Sara, the event will feature performances by soul music legends The Four Tops and Gladys Knight and country stars Alan Jackson and Mickey Guyton.
There will also be a tribute to the nurses of the Vietnam War era, as well as commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War and the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. These tributes will be presented by, respectively, actors Kathy Baker, Joe Morton and Steve Buscemi.
The concert, which airs from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET, will also stream on Facebook, YouTube and at PBS.org/national-memorial-day-concert. It’ll be available via VOD from May 30 to June 13.
