Artists and venue locations will be announced in the coming weeks and months.

Seven-time Grammy award winner, entrepreneur and philanthropist Pharrell Williams will be Live Earth’s Creative Director. Pharrell, a driving force behind Live Earth 2007, has been a longtime supporter of the environment.  He is a partner in company Bionic Yarn which creates textiles made from recycled ocean plastic debris.

By the end of November, Live Earth: Road To Paris will have aimed to harness the force of a billion voices with one message, urging world leaders to adopt a new, ambitious climate accord at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France.
