A bushfire relief concert featuring Queen + Adam Lambert, Alice Cooper, and Olivia Newton John will be streaming live internationally on Sunday.

The Australian network has teamed up with Fox networks in the US, Sky in the UK and TVNZ in New Zealand, vastly boosting the fundraising potential of the star-studded concert.

According to a press release, A Concert For Australia: Fire Fight will screen live from 3pm on TVNZ OnDemand in New Zealand.

A highlight package from the 10 hour concert will screen on TVNZ 1 the next day at 7.30pm.

The pulling power of international guests including Queen and Adam Lambert, k.d. lang, Alice Cooper, Michael Buble and Ronan Keating fuelled interest from international broadcasters in taking a feed of the concert.

The vast global fan bases of Australian pop stars including Olivia Newton-John, 5 Seconds of Summer and Amy Shark should also bring in viewers and more donations to bolster the recovery effort.

MTV will also be airing music highlights to its channels around the world.

All international broadcasts will encourage viewers to donate via www.firefightaustralia.com to support those Australians whose lives have been impacted by the worst bushfire season in living memory.

Donations will go to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal's Fire Fight Fund.
