Produced by longtime Bowie pianist Mike Garson, "A Bowie Celebration: Just For One Day!" will feature the artists — who all either worked with Bowie or were influenced by his work — performing brand-new renditions of the singer's greatest hits, as well as treasured fan favorites.
Duran Duran will perform a cover of Bowie's 1972 song "Five Years," which will be available to stream and purchase ahead of the concert.

The band's lead singer, Simon Le Bon, tells PEOPLE his "life as a teenager was all about David Bowie."
"He is the reason why I started writing songs," he says. "Part of me still can't believe in his death five years ago, but maybe that's because there's a part of me where he's still alive and always will be."
"When we got the Ziggy Stardust LP and put the needle in the groove, our first taste of its perfection was the song 'Five Years,'" he continues. "I can't begin to explain how honored I feel for Duran Duran to be given the opportunity to perform this icon, and to place our name alongside Bowie's for this commemoration of his music."
The featured vocalists will join alumni members of Bowie's bands spanning his 1969 self-titled album through his final album, 2016's Blackstar.

In addition to the featured vocalists, viral drumming sensation Nandi Bushell, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno, Fiction Plane frontman Joe Sumner, vocalist Simon Westbrook and The Section Quartet will make special appearances.
For every $25 ticket sold for the concert, $2 will be donated to the Save the Children organization, a charity that was deeply important to Bowie. In 1997, the organization was the beneficiary of funds raised from Bowie's sold-out 50th Birthday Concert held at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
