That's just the London line-up. The US one is supposed to be announced today. I really don't expect Prince to be announced, though. If he does it, he won't want to be publicly committed so early on.

Prince isn't listed anywhere that I can see:

Megastars to rock the world in giant Live Earth concerts by Robin Millard
1 hour, 58 minutes ago



LONDON (AFP) - Madonna, Genesis and the re-formed Police will top a galaxy of stars rocking the world against climate change in seven mammoth concerts around the globe on July 7, organizers said Tuesday.

ADVERTISEMENT

More than 100 acts will perform in the giant 24-hour Live Earth concert relay -- the brainchild of former US vice-president Al Gore -- spanning Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg, London, Rio de Janeiro and New York.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Genesis top the bill at London's Wembley Stadium while Bon Jovi, The Police and Smashing Pumpkins will headline the concert at New York's Giants Stadium, organisers said.

"Live Earth -- the concerts for a climate in crisis", dreamed up by politician-turned-environmental campaigner Gore, are intended to highlight the threat of climate change.

Organisers hope the concerts will raise awareness of the issue just as the 1985 Live Aid concerts raised awareness of starvation in Africa. They aim to reach over two billion people on television, radio and the Internet.

In London, Duran Duran, the Foo Fighters, the Black Eyed Peas, Keane, Snow Patrol, Bloc Party and the Beastie Boys will also perform at the 90,000-seater newly-redeveloped Wembley stadium.

Razorlight, Corinne Bailey Rae, Damien Rice, David Gray, James Blunt, John Legend and Paolo Nutini are among the other confirmed acts who will take the stage.

The New York concert features Kanye West, Roger Waters, Dave Matthews Band, Kelly Clarkson, Fall Out Boy and Melissa Etheridge.

They will take the stage in the 80,000-seater Giants Stadium alongside Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Mayer, Akon, AFI, Rihanna and KT Tunstall

why would prince be involved in anything celebrating planet earth, unless it involved TIE fighters and a hostile takeover? it's not like he's from this planet.

It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't performing there, because the "Planet Earth" thing has nothing 2 do with that.

cool

I never thought the teaser at 3121.com had anything to do with the Live Earth concerts. I can only think it is a new album and/or tour. However, it might be a bit of a miscalculation on Prince's part to have an album/tour called Planet Earth coming out around the same time as all the other pop stars are banging on about global warming unless it does actually deal with current climate issues somehow, which I actually doubt. In other words, we might expect something political from Prince but instead just get a load of love songs with maybe just one song banging on about the state of affairs somewhat like Dear Mr. Man. And it might make Prince seem out of touch. Just theorising...

Personally, I'd prefer a World tour.

The new album will happen, but I doubt it's title will be "Planet Earth".

....We always know that a new Album will happen somewhere...sometimes....but we don't know nothing about his current project...."Title"?..."Style"?.."release date"?....is Prince ready to release Something NEW and Entertaining ...a concept Album or something like that...not a commercial album like MUSICOLOGY or 3121 ....from my point of view..i doubt a lot about Prince's real motivation for putting out a new entertaining album!!
