Organisers of Live Earth have confirmed the final line-up for the London concert with Metallica, Kasabian, Pussycat Dolls and Terra Naomi set to join the line up at Wembley Stadium on July 7.
The London concert, which will also boast performances by Beastie Boys, Madonna, Snow Patrol and the Black Eyed Peas, forms a key part of the 24-hour Live Earth concert series which will begin in Sydney, Australia on July 7, 2007 and continue across seven continents with events in Tokyo, Japan; Shanghai, China; Istanbul, Turkey; Johannesburg, South Africa; London, United Kingdom; Hamburg, Germany; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before concluding in New York, United States.
Following their performance an exclusive download of Metallica’s Live Earth performance is going to be available for a minimal fee immediately after the event finishes. All money raised will benefit four climate charities hand-selected by the band: Sierra Club, The Apollo Alliance, WWF and Rainforest Action Network.
Lars Ulrich of Metallica says, "I love my sons. I want them to ‘inherit the Earth’ for real! We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs, that's the same as passing the buck. I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons."
The full London line-up is as follows:
BEASTIE BOYS
BLACK EYED PEAS
BLOC PARTY
CORINNE BAILEY RAE
DAMIEN RICE
DAVID GRAY
DURAN DURAN
FOO FIGHTERS
GENESIS
JAMES BLUNT
JOHN LEGEND
KASABIAN
KEANE
MADONNA
METALLICA
PAOLO NUTINI
PUSSYCAT DOLLS
RAZORLIGHT
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
SNOW PATROL
SPINAL TAP
TERRA NAOMI
Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign carried out by The Climate Group, Stop Climate Chaos, the Alliance for Climate Protection, and other international NGOs to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former vice president of the United States Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance for Climate Protection and a Partner of Live Earth.
