SINGAPORE: Using the global reach of music to engage people and
care for the environment that is what the LIVE EARTH concerts aim
to achieve.

Channel 5 is the only free-to-air broadcaster in the world to air
the full 24-hour event, which is billed as the "concerts for a

all seven continents.
Artists such as Madonna, Alicia Keys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Black
Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Kylie Minogue, Snow Patrol and Jennifer Lopez
are among the big names who will grace the show.
The concerts are expected to be watched by over two billion people
around the world.

and programmes in the week surrounding the LIVE EARTH telecast. -
