Usher is an eight-time Grammy winner. Fans love the Confessions singer not only for his hit songs "Yeah!", "My Boo" and R&B chart topper, "Superstar", but also for his slick, liquid-like dance moves.
Gwen Stefani emerged from being the frontwoman of ‘90s ska-punk band, No Doubt, to becoming a fashion and pop icon, known for the mid-2000s number one song "Hollaback Girl" and more recently her involvement in the TV talent show "The Voice." She’s been awarded with MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award.

This year's concert highlights UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital patient Cait Joseph, who received specialized care from the medical facility.
