Lennox, Etheridge, Keys in Nobel Concert

[cal04]

Melissa Etheridge, Alicia Keys and Annie Lennox are among the artists who will perform at the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Norway, organizers said Thursday.

The Dec. 11 concert will also feature performances by Earth Wind & Fire, Spanish singer Juanes and Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, organizers told The Associated Press.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize went to former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their efforts to help spread awareness about man-made global warming.

Organizers said Gore invited Etheridge to perform at the concert, which is held a day after the award ceremony in Oslo. Each year, peace laureates are given the opportunity to invite one artist of their choice.

1. Yeah! I hope they find a way to webcast this - I know I saw

Mohammed Younis' acceptance speech on DemocracyNow! last year, but I don't think I saw a concert.

Go Melissa!
