OZZY OSBOURNE, LINKIN PARK To Perform At CONCERT FOR SOUTH ASIA

February 7, 2005

According to MTV.com, OZZY OSBOURNE and LINKIN PARK are among the artists confirmed for Music for Relief's Concert for South Asia, to be held at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California, on February 18. Also scheduled to appear are JAY-Z, BLINK-182, NO DOUBT and JURASSIC 5. All proceeds from the concert will benefit Music for Relief, the organization formed in part by LINKIN PARK that has raised more than $1.5 million for victims of the tsunamis.

"When we started Music for Relief, we hoped to mobilize artists and fans to contribute to the massive relief effort in South Asia," LINKIN PARK guitarist Brad Delson said in a statement. "Due to the incredible support and generosity of so many of our peers and supporters within the music community, Music for Relief has played a vital role in helping get aid to people who most need it.

"We are deeply honored to participate in what will likely be our biggest event to date, Music for Relief's Concert for South Asia," he continued. "With so many amazing artists on one bill, we expect this concert to be incredibly powerful in its ability to raise both money and awareness for the long-term rebuilding effort we must all support."

Tickets for the concert are set to go on sale Friday, with a special pre-sale promotion scheduled to air Wednesday on Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM. Organizers hope the concert will raise more than $1 million for tsunami relief.
