The 30th Cannes gala organized by amfAR is shaping up to be a star-studded affair with exciting additions to the program. Nick Jonas is set to perform at the event, joining the lineup that already includes a special musical moment by the iconic Cher. The gala, scheduled for May 23, will be hosted by Demi Moore, who is not only hosting but also has a film in competition at the festival, titled 'The Substance.'
amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost expressed his enthusiasm for having Nick Jonas on board, highlighting the singer's support for amfAR's mission in the fight against AIDS. Frost is confident that the trio of Demi Moore, Cher, and Nick Jonas will make the evening truly unforgettable.
The gala boasts an impressive list of chairs, including renowned personalities from various industries such as film, fashion, and philanthropy. The event, held at the prestigious Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, has been a significant fundraiser for amfAR, having raised $264 million for the organization's programs since its inception.
In addition to the performances and celebrity presence, the gala will feature a live auction of luxury goods, experiences, and art, led by auctioneer Simon de Pury. Carine Roitfeld, a long-time supporter of amfAR, will curate a fashion show showcasing designs from top designers.
The 77th Cannes Film Festival, where the gala will take place, is scheduled to open on May 14 and run through May 25. The event is made possible by presenting sponsors Chopard and the Red Sea International Film Festival, along with signature sponsors Homolog and DraftKings, and support from Gérard Bertrand, Hatt et Söner champagne, and Rumor Rosé.
