Hosted by CNN's Sara Sidner, the concert aired worldwide on all CNN platforms along with OWN nationally at 8 p.m. ET on Monday. CNN's pre-show coverage began at 7 p.m. ET with a spotlight on African-American advocates, trailblazers, and creators.

The event, produced by LiveNation Urban and Jesse Collins Entertainment, had been announced last month, with EVP of Integrity and Inclusion for CNN Worldwide Johnita P. Due saying, "We were thrilled to continue to elevate the importance of the Juneteenth holiday."

"I looked forward to the electricity of the 2023 show. It was meticulously crafted as an expression of the excellence and resilience of the Black community and the ongoing pursuit of equality."

Last year's inaugural CNN Juneteenth concert had welcomed Chaka Khan, Khalid, Ne-Yo, Earth Wind & Fire, and Khalid, among others.
