More acts for One Earth Concert

United Kingdom | | 09 January 2006

Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, and Embrace have been added to the One Earth Concert, which takes place in Cardiff later this month to help raise awareness of environmental issues.

They join The Strokes, The Darkness and Super Furry Animals, all of whom were announced when the one day event was launched just before Christmas.

One Earth takes place on Saturday, 28 January, in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Inspired by the success of Live 8 last year, the concert is designed to raise environmental awareness with the specific goal of encouraging 1 million people across Europe to switch to renewable energy.

The one-off gig, which will be televised around the continent, will feature speeches on the subject from well known figures, expected to include Mikhael Gorbachev and Brian Eno.

Tickets for the historic concert are on sale now at £40 and are available here.

More acts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
