For YouTube fans who can’t make the trek out to VidCon this week, the video giant announced today that it will furnish a live stream of its first-ever kick-off concert, dubbed YouTube OnStage.

YouTube and VidCon are partnering together on the so-called “entertainment showcase,” which will be hosted by vlogger Tyler Oakley and sponsored by Pop-Tarts. OnStage will feature appearances from Jason Derulo, Rosanna Pansino, Collins Key, Joey Graceffa, The Slow Mo Guys, Todrick Hall, Grace VanderWaal, Dytto, Poppin John, So You Think You Can Dance winner Fik-Shun, Rudy Mancuso, and Brooklyn And Bailey. In addition to live musical performances, guests will celebrate cultural trends and notable moments in YouTube history.

The 90-minute live stream will be available right here on June 21, beginning at 10:00 pm ET. YouTube has served as a title sponsor for VidCon, the world’s largest online video convention, for the past six years.
