Some of music's biggest stars will be hitting the stage in support of the veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Beyonce, 50 Cent, Nelly and John Legend will all appear at the concert event titled "A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the Brave."

The concert will feature live and pre-recorded performance from the artists and will be taped at a New York venue one day prior to airing. 'It doesn't matter where you stand on the war, we can all agree that young veterans serving our country must receive the benefits they've earned for their sacrifices,' said Van Toffler president of MTV Networks. 'We aim to elevate these issues and ensure they're a top priority for our government officials.'

Kid Rock and Jennifer Hudson are also among those scheduled to appear at the event which will air on October 24 at 8 p.m. on MTV.
