2021 Elton John AIDS Foundation OSCARs pre-party is going virtual, the annual celebration will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris with pop superstar Dua Lipa set to headline the April 25th virtual event.
For the first time, Foundation supporters worldwide are invited to attend the famed Oscar party by joining a 60-minute Pre-Show Special produced by Fulwell 73 at Rosewood London. Tickets for the Pre-Show are currently on sale via Ticketmaster. The Pre-Party Special will be powered by Cisco Webex to securely bring the event live to audiences.
Since the annual event’s inception in 1992, The Academy Awards Viewing Party has supported the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s efforts to raise millions for their lifesaving work. With its presence across four continents, the Foundation is committed to overcome the stigma, discrimination and neglect that keeps us from ending AIDS.
To bring the event globally, the Pre-Party Special will be hosted four times to meet the different time zones of a region’s broadcast of the Oscars: 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET on April 25 in the U.S.; 7 PM GMT on April 26 in the U.K.; 7 PM AEST on April 26 in Australia and New Zealand; and an optional repeat at 7 PM PT on April 26 in the U.S. Each Special per region is possible to host up to 100,000 attendees through Webex. This means 400,000 supporters of the Elton John AIDS Foundation and entertainment fans worldwide will be able to enjoy the Special for a great cause.
