Seems no Prince announced as part of the USA line up for Live Earth...

http://liveearth.org/?p=27

So what exactly is the Earth/corset vibe all about at 3121.com?

we will all just have 2 wait and see ....

I'm not impressed with either line up.

meh

No Prince? How lame...

it just sounds like a big photo op to me, which is great if it can get people interested in the issues...though i doubt that will happen with much enthusiasm or gusto as a result of this event.

it's a really blah list of performers. i'll pass.

USA LIVE EARTH REVEALED
Tickets for the 7/7/07 Concert to Combat Global Warming Go On Sale 4/16

NEW YORK — Organizers today announced eighteen of the headliners who will perform at the U.S. leg of the 7-continent, 24-hour Live Earth concerts on 7/7/07. The concert will be held at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, Live Earth Founder and Executive Producer Kevin Wall said.
Tickets for the show go on sale Monday, April 16 at 10 a.m. EDT.

“Capping Live Earth with a blockbuster show like this will ensure we meet our challenge of building a mass audience to combat global warming,” Wall said. “Live Earth will be a monumental event both in terms of entertainment and in turning the tide against global warming.”

The global concert on 7/7/07 will begin in Sydney and continue across all 7 continents, concluding with the U.S. show.

“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 feature live on stage:
AFI

All ticket information is available at LiveEarth.MSN.com. All proceeds will benefit the Alliance for Climate Protection and other international NGOs.

Live Earth is a monumental music event that will bring together more than 2 billion people to combat the climate crisis. Live Earth’s 24 hours of music across 7 continents will deliver a call to action and the solutions needed to answer the call. Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action.

Earlier today, Wall announced that the following artists will perform at the London leg of Live Earth at Wembley Stadium:

BEASTIE BOYS
BLACK EYED PEAS
BLOC PARTY

DAMIEN RICE
DAVID GRAY
DURAN DURAN
FOO FIGHTERS

Exclusive online media partner MSN is helping Live Earth reach people in every corner of the globe. The concerts will be streamed live on 7/7/07 at LiveEarth.MSN.com. MSN’s 39 localized web portals worldwide attract 465 million monthly users. The concerts will be broadcast on the NBC in the U.S. and on more than 120 networks around the world.

Wall also announced that smart car, Stonyfield Farm and Pepsi have joined Live Earth as corporate partners. In addition to working with Live Earth to create corporate efforts to combat global warming, this growing list of partners will help ensure a mass audience for Live Earth is reached. These efforts will be detailed at a later date.

Wall also announced today that Live Earth will stage concerts at Sydney’s Aussie Stadium; Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach; Johannesburg’s Cradle of Human Kind; Tokyo’s Tokyo Stadium and in Shanghai, TBD.

Live Earth is produced by Control Room, of which Kevin Wall is the CEO. Control Room has produced and distributed more than 60 concerts since its founding in 2005 featuring Beyonce, Madonna, Green Day and the Rolling Stones, among others.

The Police, Mayer and Kanye West will make the Jersey show worth it for me. The London show looks horrible though.

i'm glad Prince passed on this for some reason

Come on guys,we shouldn't be too surprised.Prince NEVER appears at events like this He seems to have a problem with all-star concerts where he's not the headliner,lol.Remember,he didn't do 'We Are The World' or 'Live Aid' either.

Is Planet Earth and USA Live Earth the same thing?

I ask because Prince's 3121.com site clearly states P L A N E T Earth.

i'd kinda be interested in catching the beastie boys, but not if i have to sit through all that other crap.

I would NOT pay 5 cent 2 see this lineup.

Actually, the London show looks much tastier. Duran? Bloc Party? The Chili Peppers?


Damn, I wish I could go.

Aw damn....
with a line-up like this,
the Earth is very likely to die.

I better start putting my affairs in order.
