Starting at 1 pm PT/9 pm GMT, you can tune into Xbox Insider to watch the live coverage, and check out this thread to see a roundup of all the major announcements as they happen. Even prior to the event going live, we can safely guess that Sunset Overdrive is very likely to come to PC, and be announced tonight, judging by the multiple ratings and steamdb leaks.
