Jonas Brothers, Noah Cyrus, Jelly Roll Lead Stand Up to Cancer Benefit Show Lineup

Stand Up to Cancer’s fundraising benefit show is putting down roots in Nashville for one night only. The event will be filmed at the Pinnacle on Saturday, Aug. 9, with appearances from Jonas Brothers, Noah Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw, Marcus King, Brothers Osborne, Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll, Dan + Shay, and CeCe Winans. They will be backed by the Nashville Community Gospel Choir.

The hour-long concert special will air on Friday, Aug. 15 at 8 p.m. EST across 30 media platforms, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Hulu, YouTube, Paramount Plus, and more. An audio-only stream will be available through iHeartRadio. Viewers will be able to donate to the cause through the Up2Us to #StandUpToCancer campaign, running through Sunday, Aug. 31.

The televised version of the event will feature pre-recorded segments with Jamie Foxx, Tim McGraw, Zoe Saldaña, Reese Witherspoon, and Keith Urban. Sheryl Crow will host the Stand Up to Cancer show, which will also include “powerful stories from survivors whose lives were transformed by research that was made possible through donor support,” according to organizers.

Stand Up to Cancer presents its benefit show every other year. In 2023, participants included Justin Timberlake, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Biel, Don Cheadle, Katie Couric, and more, with a specific focus on film, television, sports, and journalism.

“We started this movement in 2008 to save lives, and it is remarkable to see that in 15 years our scientists have accomplished this goal through breakthrough research that intercepts and treats cancer in ways we never thought possible,” Couric, a SU2C co-founder, said at the time. “There is more work to do to cure cancer and every dollar counts; we will not stop until we make every cancer patient a long-term survivor.”

Russell Chew, president and CEO of SU2C, added: “Our telecast is a powerful tribute that demonstrates the importance of standing together to save lives. Everyone plays a critical role in this goal, and we are so grateful for the support of the entertainment community, the broadcast networks, our generous donors, and the incredible researchers who work tirelessly to develop new cancer treatments.”
