Seven stages its annual Good Friday Appeal next week for The Royal Children’s Hospital in Victoria.
This year marks the 65th year that Seven has broadcast the annual event.
Guy Sebastian will perform two hit songs from his latest album, Love On Display and Standing With You; Human Nature will perform a medley of hit songs and The Voice 2021 winner Bella Taylor-Smith will perform her single Nice To Know Ya.
Guy Sebastian said: “I’m stoked to be part of the 2022 Good Friday Appeal. I’m in awe of the incredible work of our doctors, nurses and medical staff at The Royal Children’s Hospital and recognise how hard they all work to support families in their greatest time of need.
“I am proud to be joining many great entertainers to help raise much-needed funding for medical research, education and equipment.”
Managing Director Seven Melbourne, Lewis Martin, said: “The Good Friday Appeal is a truly special event. Most Victorians – and countless other Australians – have been touched in some way by the world-leading care The Royal Children’s Hospital has lovingly provided to our kids for more than 150 years.
“Seven is proud to this year celebrate a milestone 65-year association with the Good Friday Appeal, and we are rapt to have Guy, Human Nature and Bella headline what is going to be an exciting line-up of live entertainment planned for the day and night. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Executive Director of The Good Friday Appeal Rebecca Cowan said; ‘We are thrilled to have the support of Guy Sebastian. We look forward to seeing Guy perform for families all across Victoria. I’m sure many families will be delighted to see an Australian icon throw his support behind one of the world’s best hospitals, The Royal Children’s Hospital. This is one you cannot miss, especially as the Appeal also celebrates an incredible 65 year milestone with Channel 7.”
Seven’s broadcast will kick off live from 12.00pm on. Channel 7 in Melbourne and 7plus.
The annual Good Friday AFL blockbuster takes centre stage at 4.00pm, when North Melbourne takes on the Western Bulldogs, followed by a jam-packed night of live entertainment from 7.30pm.
