The line-up for the forthcoming Facebook Watch special Earth Day! The Musical with Bill Nye the Science Guy has been revealed to feature a star group of performers, including Justin Bieber, Maluma, Tori Kelly, and more.

A long-time science educator, Nye is encouraging young people to do what they can to benefit the restoration of Earth as concerns around climate change continue to rise. To aid in spreading a thorough message during the event, he has also recruited a team of young activists fighting climate change.
