A David Bowie tribute concert will be streamed live worldwide in exchange for donations to charity.

Promoters of The Music Of David Bowie concert at Radio City Music Hall, in New York, have teamed up with Skype because of "unprecedented interest" to offer fans across the globe the chance to view the evening of tributes.

In exchange for a small donation, fans will be sent a link to watch the event live on the evening of April 1.

They are asked to donate a minimum of $A26 via the fundraising platform ammado, which will be given to a range of arts, music and education charities.

The British band Mumford & Sons, Blondie and The Pixies are some of the acts billed to perform at the show.
