Charity gig Live Earth has had to be cancelled in one country and moved to a smaller venue in another. Johannesburg officials have found it hard to sell enough tickets for the July 7 event so it has downgraded to a venue of 18,000.
Meanwhile Istanbul’s Live Earth gig was cancelled when potential sponsors steered clear of the event in fear of protests. NME says:
Local business in Turkey are said to be reluctant to get involved with the event, fearing protests from environmental groups about pollution produced by their factories.

Quick…get in you car and drive to a concert with multitudes of musicians and equipment flown around the world. This will surely stop CO2 emmissions to the atmosphere.
I’m sure glad I don’t have to pay the coal powered electric bill for this event. Yikes!
