Okay, I couldn't find any links in English for this but according to a reputable Danish newsource Al Gore and Kevin Wall (one of the arrangers of Live8) are planning a 24 hour concert simultaniously on the 7 continents (YES, even Antarctia) on July 7th 2007. The object is to raise awareness of the climate problems we have to deal with.
More than 100 artists are already approved, among them Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Duran Duran, Korn, Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Confirmed cities so far are Shanghai, Johannesburg, Sydney and London with more coming from Brazil, USA and Japan - and of course a concert on Antarctia. The concerts are expected to reach 2 billion viewers.
Now, as I said I couldn't find any news in English yet but I am sure they will surface. The story broke two hours ago and he source is a Danish business site who's usually in the know.
Here's a link in Danish. Ube will be able to read it and the rest of you can understand the names
Hopefully there'll be links in English soon 
Thoughts?
