What an amazing lineup!

London is just one of the cities taking part in the event across the globe, along with concerts in Shanghai, Johannesburg and Sydney, as well as shows in Japan, Brazil and the US.

Of the Live Earth concept, Al Gore says,"By attracting an audience of billions we hope Live Earth will launch a global campaign giving a critical mass of people around the world the tools they need to help solve the climate crisis. But ultimately, corporations and governments must become global leaders taking decisive action to stop global warming."

Proceeds from the concerts will create a foundation to combat climate change led by The Alliance for Climate Protection, currently chaired by Gore.
