Pharrell Williams has announced a series of huge concerts for Live Earth 2015. Full details are below.

Working together with former politician and environmentalist Al Gore, Williams has revealed that he will curate a second run of Live Earth concerts on 18 June 2015, with seven massive shows set to take place on seven different continents around the world.

As the Guardian reports, Williams revealed the plans for the event at the World Economic Forum in Davos, stating that they intend to reach out to a global audience of 2 billion, with the concerts being broadcast across 193 television networks.

It is yet to be announced where exactly the concerts will take place, or who will perform, with Williams keeping his cards close to his chest and simply saying: "Instead of just having people perform, we literally are going to have humanity harmonise all at once."

The inaugural Live Earth concert was in 2007, with the British leg of the event taking place at Wembley stadium, featuring performances from Metallica, Kasabian, Paolo Nutini, Spinal Tap, The Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters and a host of others.

More details on the 2015 event are expected to be revealed soon.
