The reports we have been hearing are correct. Al Gore has lined up a star-studded concert line up to further help educate people on the climate crisis.
While looking on John Mayer's site, this popped up and now my other alerts are starting to fall in. The concerts are part of a campaign, Save Our Selves (SOS) .

LOS ANGELES - Al Gore announced Thursday that concerts will be held on seven continents to focus worldwide attention on the threat of climate change, with a powerhouse lineup of acts from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Snoop Dogg to Bon Jovi.
The 24-hour event on July 7 is part of a campaign, Save Our Selves - The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, that promoters hope will trigger a broad movement to address what the former vice president calls a global climate crisis.
"In order to solve the climate crisis, we have to reach billions of people," the environmental activist, filmmaker and former presidential candidate said in a statement. "The climate crisis will only be stopped by an unprecedented and sustained global movement."
More than 100 performers are scheduled to appear including, the Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Duran Duran, Korn, Pharrell, the Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
Promoters said the Live Earth concerts will take place in Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; London and cities to be announced in Japan, Brazil and the United States.
Promoters said the concerts - dubbed Live Earth - could reach 2 billion people through attendance or broadcasts. Proceeds will create a foundation to combat climate change led by The Alliance for Climate Protection, which is chaired by Gore.
The Save our Selves campaign was founded by Kevin Wall, who won an Emmy as Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8.
