Stars are coming out in force for a Cyclone Gabrielle relief concert in Christchurch tonight.

More than 2000 people will gather in the city's town hall for the Otautahi 4 Aotearoa Cyclone Relief Concert, headlined by artists Lorde, Neil Finn, and L.A.B.

The artists —along with the venue and staff— are donating their time and resources for the fundraiser.

L.A.B's lead singer Joel Shadbolt told Andrew Dickens that it's going to be a special night.

He says the crowds really pulled through, raising 200 thousand dollars for the Red Cross.
