Maranga - Rise Up Aotearoa is being backed by the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency and Whakaata Māori.
Whakaata Māori tāhuhu rangapū Shane Taurima said it would be a time for people to come together.
"The concert and live broadcast across multiple platforms like TikTok embeds the values of generosity and reciprocity. Whakaata Māori wanted to give back to all who can support, which is the true essence of koha," he said.
The concert is being run in partnership with the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency which will distribute donations.
The national broadcast is being supported by Te Māngai Pāho and NZOnAir.
