On 11 August 2007, EarthOne Productions will deliver “World Peace One,” the largest humanitarian event ever experienced. The event is currently planned to be broadcast “live” from 15 primary host cities with the support of secondary host cities spanning 24 time-and span 24 time-zones across the world.

Throughout the event’s 24-hour broadcast, “World Peace One” will unite the world with music, inspiration, and responsibility. This event will reach more than 3.5 billion people in more than 180 countries through a global distribution grid that includes television and radio networks, Internet and mobile distribution networks, and a humanitarian awareness campaign that can help bring an end to war in our lifetime.

World Peace One is attracting a line-up of international recording artists, actors, athletes, Nobel Laureates, doctors, scientists, diplomats, inspirational leaders, and concerned global citizens who are contributing their time, status and resources to the important cause of Peace in our complex and perilous global environment.

Recording artists that will be invited to participate in the “World Peace One” Event include:

U2, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Carlos Santana, Yes, Shakira, the Rolling Stones, Earth Wind & Fire, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Sting, David Bowie, Lionel Ritchie, the Goo Goo Dolls, Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Tina Turner, The Eagles, Pearl Jam, Moby, Alanis Morissette, Phil Collins, Eminem, Wyclef Jean, Will Smith, Usher, Mary J. Blige, JZ, Beyonce, Pink, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, Janet Jackson, Baby Face, Greenday, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Outkast, Sarah McLachlan, Enya, Paul Simon, The Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Rascal Flatts, Tricia Yearwood, Keith Urban, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Ricky Martin, Mark Antony, David Bisbal, Juanes, Luis Miguel, Olga Tanon, Alejandro Sanz, Gilberto Gil, Ivan Lins, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Tony Bennett, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Autograph, Jane Zhang, David Lee, Prince Ali; and regional talent popular in many parts of the world.

All venue sites will be linked to each other via satellite, enabling each city to view other events happening “live” in other parts of the world. These venue-to-venue uplinks will be shown on Jumbotron, Diamond Vision, and screens at all Primary and Secondary Host City venue sites.

The event is currently planned to be broadcast “live” from 15 primary host cities that include: Sydney, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Mumbai, Moscow, Dubai, Johannesburg, Cairo, Berlin, London, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles; and other Secondary Host Cities to be announced.
 
Notice how it says "artists that will be INVITED to participate." That list is a little too optimistic in my opinion. The whole thing sounds too hippy-ish for U2 (and a lot of the other artists) anyway.

Yep.

I didn't notice that at first, but good eye!

Regardless, it would be sweet if most of those participated! :drool:
 
That would be one amazing lineup if all of those artists actually participated. Holy crap.

I invited U2 to play my birthday party with the pope and dali llama working the grill. Still haven't heard back yet, but I'm gonna release a press release soon saying they've been invited anyway.
