The show will feature a host of big-name musical performances from the likes of Lopez, 5 Seconds of Summer, Coldplay, Selena Gomez, One Direction, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Macklemore and Lewis, Gwen Stefani and Carrie Underwood.

In a tribute to Paris in light of the recent terrorist attacks, Celine Dion will perform Edith Piaf’s “Hymne a L’Amour” in French.
