Former Vice President and Academy Award nominee Al Gore has announced that he will sponsor a global warming awareness concert... twenty-four hours, live from major cities around the world... sort of a Live 8 thing, except focusing on global warming instead of poverty.
Behind the scenes is a new group called Save Our Selves (SOS), headed by Kevin Wall, Al Gore, Pharrell Williams, Maná, Cameron Diaz, and the MSN Network.
The concert is set for July 7 and will feature concerts on all seven continents; venues announced so far include:
Johannesburg, South Africa
Shanghai, China
Sydney, Australia
London, England
Plans are being made for venues in the United States, Brazil, and Japan, and it is said that there will even be a venue in Antarctica, which would be the first ever rock concert on that continent.
Confirmed acts include:
AFI
Akon
Black-Eyed Peas
Bloc Party
Bon Jovi
Corinne Bailey Rae
Damien Rice
Duran Duran
Enrique Iglesias
Fall Out Boy
Faith Hill
Foo Fighters
John Mayer
John Legend
Keane
Kelly Clarkson
Korn
Lenny Kravitz
Mana
Melissa Etheridge
Paolo Nutini
Pharrell
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sheryl Crow
Snoop Dogg
Snow Patrol
Tim McGraw
Rumored to appear are Coldplay, U2, and Oasis. More acts will likely be confirmed before the concert.
The concert will be broadcast on television, radio, and the internet, and it is predicted that it will reach over 2 billion people worldwide.
