KORN To Participate In Climate-Change Concerts

February 15, 2007

The Associated Press reports that KORN is among the artists that will take part in a series of worldwide concerts to focus on the threat of climate change, Al Gore announced on Thursday (Feb. 15).

The 24-hour event on July 7 is part of a kickoff campaign, Save Our Selves - The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, that promoters hope will trigger a broad movement to address what the former vice president calls a "planetary emergency."

"We have to get the message of urgency and hope out," Gore said at a news conference, where he was flanked by actress Cameron Diaz, rapper Pharrell Williams and producer Kevin Wall.

More than 100 performers are scheduled to appear at the July concerts, including MELISSA ETHERIDGE, FOO FIGHTERS, LENNY KRAVITZ, SHERYL CROW, JOHN MAYER, DURAN DURAN, THE BLACK EYED PEAS, AKON, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, FAITH HILL and TIM MCGRAW.

Promoters said the Live Earth concerts will take place in Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; London and cities to be announced in Japan, Brazil and the United States. One concert will take place in Antarctica, Gore said.
