Held this September...

Annie Lennox, Beth Orton For Peace Concert
  • Add to My Fav Bands List More Beth Orton
  • Annie Lennox, Beth Orton and Marc Almond are amongst the artists set to perform at a gig raising awareness for the call for global peace.

    Titled ‘The Peace One Day’, the event will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 21.

    Also on the bill will be Corinne Baliey Rae and James Morrison, while David Beckham and Jude Law will record video messages for the event.

    Lennox said of the show: “Something that is of common interest to every man, woman or child on the planet must surely be the notion of peace.

    "I'm thrilled and delighted to be part of it, and to contribute to making Peace One Day a reality. Without peace we cannot survive.”

    As the BBC reports, Jude Law added: "I am immensely proud to be a part of this historic project. This process is about creating an annual moment of global unity. It can only work if we all become involved and it's essential that we do."

    Tickets are on sale now and cost from between £35 to £75.

    • What a fanastic idea! Peace must be promoted. War and the cause of war must be eliminated! I just hope this concert will not exclude sri Lanka as the media chose to censor Lankan news in the UK. Love to be part of it!
