(CNN) — CNN's second annual "Juneteenth: A Global Celebration for Freedom" concert was set for Monday night and was broadcast from Los Angeles' historic outdoor Greek Theatre in Griffith Park.

Performers included Charlie Wilson, Miguel, Kirk Franklin, Nelly, SWV, Davido, Coi Leray, Jodeci, and Mike Phillips, with Oscar-winner Questlove and Adam Blackstone serving as musical directors.

The show also featured a tribute to the late music legend Tina Turner by singer and "Grown-ish" star Chlöe Bailey. Vice President Kamala Harris delivered special remarks during the event.

Hosted by CNN's Sara Sidner, the concert aired worldwide on all CNN platforms along with OWN nationally at 8 p.m. ET on Monday. CNN's pre-show coverage began at 7 p.m. ET with a spotlight on African-American advocates, trailblazers, and creators.

The event, produced by LiveNation Urban and Jesse Collins Entertainment, had been announced last month, with EVP of Integrity and Inclusion for CNN Worldwide Johnita P. Due saying, "We were thrilled to continue to elevate the importance of the Juneteenth holiday."

"I looked forward to the electricity of the 2023 show. It was meticulously crafted as an expression of the excellence and resilience of the Black community and the ongoing pursuit of equality."

Last year's inaugural CNN Juneteenth concert had welcomed Chaka Khan, Khalid, Ne-Yo, Earth Wind & Fire, and Khalid, among others.
