U2, Oasis, Coldplay to play 'Live Earth'?
Monday, February 12 2007, 16:37 GMT

By David Cribb

The list of artists that will play this summer's 'Live Earth' concert will be announced next week, with U2 and Kylie Minogue expected to top the list.

Other acts taking part in what will be the biggest charity gig ever held are thought to include Oasis, Robbie Williams and Coldplay.

Last Friday, American vice president Al Gore met with a host of media personnel in London, to begin planning the event. "It was the most stellar array of media figures you could ever see but to get all those people in the room on a Friday night shows how willing they are to help," said an inside source.

The live shows will take place across the world - in England, the USA, Japan, South Africa and Brazil - and will occur on July 7 of this year.

Gore himself was keen to rally the cause at the meeting, telling those present: "Television hypnotises billions but it is a one-way conversation filling minds with junk food. The only way to breathe meaning back into our words is through music. We need you."

Al Gore In Works To Announce Global Concert Event

I have a feeling he is doing this as well as preparing to speak at the Oscars (as was his Grammy appearance last night) in order to enlist aid for this concert which is going to be the greatest event for our Earth EVER.

And Melissa Etheridge just has to play it too. I hope she does. Her song, "I Need To Wake Up" is now my rallying cry for the environmental movement just as, "Mercy Mercy Me" by Marvin Gaye was my inspiration when I was only twelve and just getting involved in this issue.

I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS and will be trying to help out in any way I can to spread the word about it. This is more exciting and in my opinion can be more effective than any boring presidential campaign because he is reaching the entire world with this message! There is no limit to what we can do...That is the message. Thank you Mr. Gore, this is just what the world needs to jumpstart it! The full line-up of artists will be announced February 15.
