Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna set for Veteran's Day "Valor" concert

Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica and Rihanna are among the artists booked for a televised live concert from the National Mall in Washington next month to raise awareness of issues concerning veterans.

"The Concert for Valor" is planned for 7 p.m. Eastern on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. It will be televised by HBO, which will provide its signal free to non-subscribers.

Jamie Foxx, Dave Grohl, comic John Oliver, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band are also scheduled to perform, with appearances by Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Other participants will be announced in the coming weeks.

Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz is spearheading the event. The concert is free, but sponsors hope to direct fans to ways they can volunteer or donate money to causes helping war veterans.

Springsteen is also taking part in another Veteran's Day-related event. On Nov. 5, he will headline the annual Stand Up for Heroes show at New York's Madison Square Garden.
