Live Earth

[Wedgie]

Saw the media release today announcing Crowded House as the headline event for the Australian leg, that's very disappointing, would prefer Split Enz!
Had to giggle at the media release when it mentioned that concerts would be held in 7 continents, I look forward to the concert from the South Pole!

Live on stage at the Sydney show will be:

CROWDED HOUSE

JACK JOHNSON

WOLFMOTHER

JOHN BUTLER TRIO

MISSY HIGGINS

ESKIMO JOE

SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM

PAUL KELLY

TONI COLLETTE & THE FINISH

Live Earth was founded by Kevin Wall, who served as Worldwide Executive Producer of the Live 8 concert series in 2005. Representing Wall at the Sydney launch today was Lily Sobhani, Live Earth’s Global Head of Events.

“Live Earth Australia will kick off 24 hours of music spanning all 7 continents to focus the world against global warming,” Wall said. “Over 100 headlining artists ranging from Madonna to The Police to Wolfmother, all of whom are donating their time to perform at the concerts, will inspire an audience of over 2 billion people. Live Earth is designed to trigger a mass movement to combat our climate crisis. The climate crisis touches everyone, everywhere. Live Earth is about motivating people in every corner of the planet to ‘Answer the Call’ and make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives to combat global warming.”

AFI

ALICIA KEYS

Maybe they are going to the South Pole. I see the Live Earth concerts are to highlight global warming and the lack of ozone over the South Pole is a cause of great concern to those that know. Perhaps this may be a reason for possibly going to the Sth Pole. Just a guess that's all
