Live Earth concert in Brazil will go as planned

A Brazilian judge reversed his own order and will allow Saturday’s Live Earth concert in Rio de Janeiro to go on as planned. Denise Tarin had said on Tuesday that the concert would be cancelled due to security concerns, yet he relented yesterday.

The Live Earth concerts will be taking place tomorrow over 24 hours at several venues worldwide including London, Johannesburg, and New Jersey but only the Rio gig will have free admission.

Macy Gray, Jorge Benjor, Pharell Williams, and Lenny Kravitz are expected to perform at the Rio concert.
