The Live Earth Thread

busybeeburns · 09-02-2007, 10:40 AM

A day of concerts across the globe intended to exceed Live Aid in scale and ambition is to be held this summer to highlight the issue of climate change.

Organisers of the event, scheduled to take place on 7 July, hope to amass a worldwide television audience of two billion people in order to present the message about global warming.

The series of co-ordinated concerts in seven cities - London, Washington DC, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town and Kyoto - is expected to be announced today by the former American vice-president Al Gore, who is now a figurehead of the campaign against climate change.

Promoters of the event, which will be branded "SOS", yesterday promised that the line-up of artists - likely to include U2, Coldplay and the Scissor Sisters - will "dwarf" those amassed for Live Aid and its successor, Live8.

Venues for the London event are still being discussed but the shortlist includes Hyde Park and the new Wembley stadium.

Organisers hope that up to three million people will gather at the venues and other cities for the day of interlinked music performances and film and television events.

One promoter told the Financial Times that the event was to be modelled on Live Aid and Live8. However, the source said: "The talent involved is just exponentially bigger because the issue itself is bigger. Live Aid was about asking people to stump up money, this about effecting systemic change. The aim is not just to drive awareness but to get people to take action."

Just think about how much polution this concert will produce.

Someone is bound to say this.

blackchickintheback · 09-02-2007, 11:57 PM

This is great news, if it's true.

Would they be performing songs from their new album???

Possibly a new single?!

I'm a dreamer...

Ooooh promising!!

yellow_fever · 10-02-2007, 06:47 PM

Wow, this is really great if it carries through !

GazeboflossUK · 10-02-2007, 07:01 PM

Global Warming. If only they would get it right. Supporting the current widely known "Global Warming" non-sense is making things worse!
Although I would like to be more green for the sake of it - better health, saving wildlife and all that side of it.

I'd like to see them play new stuff though.
