Seventeen of the headliners who will play Wembley Stadium in London as part of the 24-hour, 7-continent Live Earth concerts on 7/7/07 were unveiled today by Live Earth founder and executive producer Kevin Wall. Ticketing for the UK concert begins on Friday the 13th of April 2007.

“This monster lineup will ensure Live Earth meets our goal of bringing together people from around the world to combat the climate crisis,” Wall said. “Live Earth will not only span all 7 continents, but the musicians who have answered our call span multiple genres and generations.”

“By attracting an audience of billions, we hope Live Earth will launch a global campaign giving a critical mass of people around the world the tools they need to help solve the climate crisis,” said Live Earth co-chair vice president Al Gore. “But ultimately, corporations and governments must become global leaders taking decisive action to stop global warming.”

Live on stage in London will be:

Beastie Boys
Black Eyed Peas
Bloc Party
Corinne Bailey Rae
Damien Rice
David Gray
Duran Duran
Foo Fighters
Genesis
James Blunt
John Legend
Keane
Madonna
Paolo Nutini

Snow Patrol

With additional performers being announced at a future date.
