One World Together At Home So Far Has Raised $US128M

By David Farrell

International advocacy organization Global Citizen, together with Lady Gaga, has announced US$127.9M in commitments to date in support of healthcare workers in the fight against the global pandemic. The pre-recorded segments spliced together for Sunday’s six-hour One World Together At Home special was live-streamed across 175 countries by 60 global broadcast networks and nine digital platforms.


Canada’s Michael Bublé, Celine Dion and Shawn Mendes were a part of the galaxy of musical talents from across the planet who used various online platforms to contribute to the extravaganza that doubled as a reason to give us a ‘smile’ during the pandemic, as too a fund-raiser for global and local orgs in the front line in the war on the virus that is attributable for over 165K deaths worldwide and 1,587 in Canada.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
