The U.S. event will not take place at the Capital like previously planned, instead Giants Stadium in New Jersey will be the venue and tickets go on sale Monday, April 16. We assume that profits will be used for education efforts. No word yet if MTV plans to televise the event so they can break away for commercials during most of the important performances.
The London event will take place at Wembley Stadium and will include performances by the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snow Patrol, Madonna, Bloc Party, Keanne and more. The Rolling Stones are not scheduled to take part in the event contrary to earlier rumors announcing their participation.
