Live Earth organizers announced that the Police, Roger Waters, Fall Out Boy and Kanye West will be among the headliners for the U.S. set of the 7-continent, 24-hour concerts taking place on 7/7/07. The U.S. show will be at Giants Stadium in New Jersey and tickets go on sale Monday, April 16 at 10 a.m. EST.
"We hope the energy created by Live Earth will jump start a massive
public education effort," Live Earth Co-Chair Vice President Al Gore said. "Live Earth will help us reach a tipping point that's needed to move corporations and governments to take decisive action to solve the climate crisis."
The U.S. show will also feature Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi, the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Smashing Pumpkins and KT Tunstall.
Meanwhile the London Live Earth set at Wembley Stadium will have the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snow Patrol, Madonna, Bloc Party, Keanne and others.
