Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro is Back On

It has been touch and go for the past few days, but the Live Earth organization announced yesterday that Rio de Janeiro's concert will go on as planned.

The 7/7/07 Concert for a Climate in Crisis (to raise awareness of climate change) is taking place in 8 cities worldwide (New York, London, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney and Hamburg). Rio is the only one where no admission is charged. The line-up includes Lenny Kravitz, Pharrell Williams, Macy Gray, Xuxa, Jorge Ben Jor, Jota Quest (Brazilian rock), Vanessa da Matta, O Rappa (hip-hop), MV Bill (rap/hip-hop) and Marcelo D2 (samba/hip-hop).

Earlier this week the concert had been cancelled due to concerns that there was not enough local security on hand for the event. The city has been overwhelmed with the preparations for the upcoming Pan-American games. However, the local authorities have reviewed the situation and the event will go on as planned.
